Hi,

It's been a while since I used GRASS, and I'm having trouble getting my data into the system. The data I'm working on is available here:

http://kymartian.ky.gov/demwebusgs/har/index.html

It's USGS format DEM data. The meta data is found here:

http://kymartian.ky.gov/demwebusgs/DEM_dem.xml

Apparently, the metadata is not available in the data files, so I had to enter the details by hand in setting up a new location. I'm working from Neteler and Mitasova 3rd ed., but otherwise have very limited GIS background. My attempt at the projection is listed below. It appears that I'm using two different systems here, with the actual raster file in units of meters, while the default region is measured in degrees. I'm not sure how to convert the easting/northing into degrees, or the degrees into meters. I've also tried this with State Plane System and Lat-Long, but haven't figured out what I'm doing wrong. Please help!

Thanks,

Tyler
