[Qgis-user] Qgis-user Digest, Vol 193, Issue 16

 I would bet the DEM is in "UTM", probably either zone 11N or 12N for northern hemisphere, you can check the linked image to figure out which one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Transverse_Mercator_coordinate_system#/media/File:Utm-zones-USA.svg  Try using the Assign Projection tool under Raster: Projections. Search for something like "UTM 11", and try one or more of those. Less likely would be Idaho State Plane.

I have a project with 2 layers - one is Google maps, the other a DEM
created with LAStools. Both layers have a CRS of EPSG:3857 as viewed in the
Layer Properties - Information dialog.

However, the DEM is displayed in NIgeria, when it should be in Idaho.

I'm a total newbie at this, so I bet I missed something simple.
