Prior to 1983, sources of these figures are not known or cannot be confirmed, and were not derived from the current situation reporting process.
As a result, the figures prior to 1983 should not be compared to later data.
Yes, the Forest Service provided those numbers, but the raw data I've seen came from multiple sources, and we don't know if some acres were double or triple counted.
Further, it's only been in more recent times that mapping accuracy has improved by leaps and bounds with advent of GPS.
Tens of millions of acres is a massive amount of land, and up through the middle of the last century, the tools, manpower, and time it would take to actually map those fires were not available.
