Largest Wildfire in each state (Roughly)

A visual comparison of the largest recorded wildfires in each U.S. state. This map highlights the massive disparity between the multi-million acre 'megafires' of the West and the smaller, more frequent forest and grass fires of the East. Notable updates include the record-breaking Smokehouse Creek Fire (2024) in Texas and the Morrill Fire (2026) in Nebraska. (Ranger Road Fire Burned 283,283 Acres in Oklahoma and Kansas in febuary 2026 but wont be mentioned due to larger sites in those states)
