It's wherever the crowing Canuck and his hairy bible says it is.

Up here we got the Swedish Triangle, but it's just one township.

And it's square. Like a Polish triangle.

Like all things, this is a generalization and it is wrong, as there are species shift. In my location we have huge coon, but from the west there is a prairie raccoon which is light brown. These mix in breeding with the black guard hair raccoon, which are the well furred and wonderful quality racoon. There are factors in this too in location, as in drainage of major waterways, food and yes background color. A raccoon that is out in the sun, with a white and brown prairie is going to be lighter in color just as human hair bleaches out. For that matter a coon in woods and with dark colored soils is going to be darker.
This Red and Minnesota River drainage, which flows down to the Gulf and up to Hudson's Bay is a divide on fur. It is better quality, mink are outstanding, it is larger and the colors are appealing. For fox I used to catch a reddish yellow with black guard hairs on the Dakota side, and a gorgeous cherry red with white highlights on the Minnesota side. Coyotes started out here those horrid brown things, while the Dakotas had the pale Montana types. What is appearing now is a light tan type. This population shift took decades, but it proves that animals do move. I know my Grandfather informed me there were not any raccoons in this area until the 1930's, when the first coons appeared. That was the last of the wolves being taken out and the coyotes were gladly exterminated.
Just keep in mind, there are always fur subspecies pockets and genus types do move as trends push species in and out, from agriculture, to housing to a distemper culling the animals and another group moves in.
Without insulting Southern fur, having seen it, I wonder why people bother with it, but the same holds for most lower 48 fur compared to the luxurious furs parts of Canada still produces and into Alaska.

We trap in the bronze triangle here, but they consider us part of Appalachia and we get subsidies, so we average 122.00 per coon.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....
