2024 Fire History polygons of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks

Flickinger J. 2025. 2024 Fire History polygons of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. National Park Service. Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, CA and immediate vicinity.

This vector polygon dataset represents fire history at Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks from 1921 through 2024. In the parks, fire history information is compiled from various sources including fire reports, drawn maps, remote sensing, and GPS. Some perimeter data prior to 1996 originated as GRASS coverages with 30 meter resolution. Beginning in 1996, spatial data was digitally developed in ArcGIS at varying scales (typically digitized from 15 minute or 7.5 minute topo quads). Spatial and attribute accuracy are greatly increased from year 2002 and later. Polygons now come from the GISS process for mapping wildfires (which are automatically associated with fire ignition points in InFORM but can be accessed other ways as well).
