<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">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: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Transverse_Mercator_coordinate_system#/media/File:Utm-zones-USA.svg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Transverse_Mercator_coordinate_system#/media/File:Utm-zones-USA.svg</a> 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.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">-Thayer</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div><br></div>
