Carl,

Try something like

gdal_translate -f gtiff  "<GDAL_WMS><Service name=\"AGS\"><ServerUrl>https://index.nationalmap.gov/arcgis/rest/services/3DEPElevationIndex/MapServer</ServerUrl><BBoxOrder>xyXY</BBoxOrder><SRS>3857</SRS></Service><DataWindow><UpperLeftX>-20037508.34</UpperLeftX><UpperLeftY>20037508.34</UpperLeftY><LowerRightX>20037508.34</LowerRightX><LowerRightY>-20037508.34</LowerRightY><SizeX>2500</SizeX><SizeY>2500</SizeY></DataWindow></GDAL_WMS>" test1.tif -projwin  ulx uly lrx lry -projwin_srs <srs of your window> -t_srs <srs you want for the output>

If you want a different size than 2500x2500 just change that size
