I think it's Des Moines that was supposed to be Raccoon City, because if you look at the history, it was almost named 'Fort Raccoon' instead of 'Fort Des Moines' which became the title of the city after they dropped the 'Fort'.
 
I always thought it could be based on Springfield, MO and the Ozark mountains....looks pretty similar. Not really big mountains, covered in trees.
 
South Dakota...maybe. There is this pic on fb, that D.C. Douglas posted, it reads " Raccoon City, South Dakota"
 
I'd say Missouri as well, though South Illinois is a possibility too.
Really you could just throw a dart at the Midwest.


In The Umbrella Chronicles, it shows a map of the U.S. and it closes in on what I'm guessing is Raccoon City, and it shows it's around Missouri or Kansas.
