Yeah - that's a layer order issue. Just drag that line above your ortho over in the layers panel. Select the layer and drag it up. You can move stuff around pretty easily in that panel.

If you ever dump a shapefile out of some custom Forestry software it could (like something to COGO boundaries or do cruises) it can become a projection issue easily. BUT - you're on the right track!

Ah, you'll need to change the layer order. Just drag and drop them at the right spot in the layer panel, left from your map.

This is actually quite basic qgis knowledge, so you might consider following some (online) tutorials to get started quickly.

when I "uncheck" the ortho layer, the property boundary (the shapefile) appears. When I display the ortho imagery again, no boundary. It is like the shapefile is "under" the ortho image, when I of course want it to show "on" the ortho image. most seems like a vector display issue to me.
What do you think?
Thanks

Hi Jim,

That sounds a lot like a projection issue.

Are your layers completely misaligned, like not overlapping at all? Or
are they overlapping but with just a few (hundred) meters shift?

An easy trick is adding the world layer and see which of your layers
appears at the expected spot. You can do this by typing "world" in the
coordinate bar beneath the map.

Good luck!

Raymond
