Pawnee, Indiana – Parks and Recreation
Some speculation points to Pawnee, Indiana serving as a fictionalized version of Muncie, but YouTuber loststates published a video in 2011 attempting to deduce the location of Pawnee. Loststates based their investigation on information published on the in-universe town website, which states that Pawnee is 100 miles from Terre Haute and 90 miles from Indianapolis. This gives two potential locations for Pawnee, but canonically, Pawnee is located in the southern part of the state, narrowing it down to northwest of New Albany.
