Still struggling.... I am attaching the info from the prj file and
the extent info from the metadata for each shapefile:<br>
<br>
I noticed that the PROJCS is labeled as "Custom"...could that be
confusing QGIS?<br>
<br>
Or is it because one is a projected CRS and one is a geographic CRS?<br>
<br>

You have no choice of setting a project CRS if OTF is off.

Different sources or different layer CRS shouldn't matter.

Shapefiles without .prj file are still existing in the world.

There is an option mentioned previously so that you can set how

Settings -> Options, CRS Tab, CRS foor new layers.

If you can point us at the files you're using - or excerpts from

Or tell us the extent of every layer, as reported by Rightclick
-> Properties, metadata tab.

<br>
I don't agree with that.
<br>
If some layers come up on the wrong part of the Earth, it is a
good reference to see which layers are right and which are wrong.
<br>
<br>
Natural Earth shapefiles can be a reference as well.
