2023 Fire History polygons of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks

Flickinger J. 2024. 2023 Fire History polygons of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. National Park Service. Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, CA and immediate vicinity.

This coverage represents the SEKI fire history from 1921 through 2023. A separate database exists that has attribute information based on the common relate item called "gisno". This was linked to the WFMI database but that was only updated through 2019. The 2020 and on additions were manually populated and attribute data pulled from Inform. As of 2022, there was still no integrated dataset. Some of the spatial data is blocky because it originated as a GRASS coverage with 30 meter resolution. Beginning in 1996, the fire history data has been digitally developed in Arc/Info. The resulting smooth line polygon shapefiles depict fires that are 1996 and later. A significant quality control process has increased the accuracy of attributes in the 2002 version and later.
