Hi Melita, Thanks for your help. The data is public.  The data can be found here:  ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2016/STATE/ Extents: Top:  49.384358 m Bottom:  24.396308 Left:  -124.848974 Right:  -66.885444 ^ that doesn't really make sense to me? ... View more

Ok, I will try to find the data in a geographic coordinate system.  Thanks for the tip. ... View more

I have not been able to find the data I am looking for in the projection I've described.  While one may deem it to be an onerous task, 1) I was assigned to find the state boundaries projected as described, and 2) Being that my multiple attempts to reproject the dataset without the desired results, I am now interested in learning why the desired result is not being produced and how I may resolve the issue. Thanks. ... View more

I do not know why the original data (as provided by Census TIGER/Line) is projected in the Hawaii Albers projection - that is the original projection - my issue is trying to reproject it to Web Mercator. ... View more

Thanks.  I don't know why the original data is projected into Hawaii_Albers_Equal_Area_Conic, as the dataset covers the contiguous US (probably some reason why).  But, I'm trying to create a US state boundaries dataset that resembles Google maps. ... View more

Thanks.  As I mentioned, the reprojection completes successfully.  But the shape of the features in the output is the same as the input (even when adding to a new data frame).  The details of the input are listed below, if helpful: Projected Coordinate System: WGS_1984_Web_Mercator_Auxiliary_Sphere Projection: Mercator_Auxiliary_Sphere False_Easting: 0.00000000 False_Northing: 0.00000000 Central_Meridian: 0.00000000 Standard_Parallel_1: 0.00000000 Auxiliary_Sphere_Type: 0.00000000 Linear Unit:  Meter Geographic Coordinate System: GCS_WGS_1984 Datum:  D_WGS_1984 Prime Meridian:  Greenwich Angular Unit:  Degree I studied projections and coordinates systems in great detail when I was in graduate school, but alas that was many moons ago and I hate to admit I didn't retain all of the knowledge - so I'm struggling to figure out where/ what the issue is. Thanks for the help. ... View more

Thanks for the help.  Listed below are the details related to the original data: Projected Coordinate System: Hawaii_Albers_Equal_Area_Conic Projection: Albers False_Easting: 0.00000000 False_Northing: 0.00000000 Central_Meridian: -157.00000000 Standard_Parallel_1: 8.00000000 Standard_Parallel_2: 18.00000000 Latitude_Of_Origin: 13.00000000 Linear Unit:  Meter Geographic Coordinate System: GCS_North_American_1983 Datum:  D_North_American_1983 Prime Meridian:  Greenwich Angular Unit:  Degree ...

No, I visually compared the input and output in separate data frames.  I added the output to a new data frame so on-the-fly projection would not occur. ... View more

Thanks.. Yes I used the Project tool. Visually, the output is the same as the input (Equal Area Conic projection) and not Mercator. ... View more

Thanks... but I have already tried adding the output to a new application (new dataframe), with no changes. (sorry about the double post, new to this community) ... View more
