Thanks to all for your help. I finally decided to find another
source for my Oregon boundary and yahoo! Everything started lining
up. So I was able to make some real progress. I am DELETING that
other shapefile, and my guess, based on the help I received from all
of you, is that the projection file had errors in it. <br>
<br>
Thank you!<br>

<p dir="ltr">Hi,<br>
Qgis can handle both projected and geographic CRS at the same
time. If it is a Custom CRS, it could means the projection was
not recognized by a software along its production line and could
indicate a problem if it contains errors... Or someone tried to
recreate a missing CRS. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Try to go back in the metadata if you have it in
order to find more info like the EPSG code. Perhaps it could
help you identify the problem. Try comparing the .prj file from
two file that are supposed to be in the same CRS. Maybe that
could help. </p>

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

Different sources or different layer CRS shouldn't matter.

Shapefiles without .prj file are still existing in the

There is an option mentioned previously so that you can

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

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

better. <br>

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

<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. <br>
