Hi,
You should look for the .prj that should be with the .shp. If it's not
there, your file was probably imported using the project CRS and that explains
why it's in the wrong place... If the .prj is there, but not recongized
in QGIS, it should have been imported as a User CRS.
If you can't find it, or if it's wrong, google EPSG and proj4. You should
find what you are looking for and then you can create a user CRS in QGIS.

<ml-node+s1560n5178063...@n6.nabble.com> a écrit : I received a shape
file with a projection of Maine West (ft) On the fly transformation placed the
property somewhere west of Brazil in the Atlantic Ocean. I checked all the
projection and didn’t find Maine West in qgis. How can I add it to the list of
projections? What information do I need for that? Thanks for any pointers. Jake
