Raccoon and Parke County
Raccoon is associated with Parke County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.
Raccoon by land and water
The Census records 0.04 square miles of water within Raccoon, or 0.1% of its total area. It is 1.1 percentage points lower than the 1.2% recorded for Parke County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
