Data in the state of Louisiana has the projection defined as WGS 1984 UTM Zone 15S. The user knows that this area of Louisiana is located m UTM Row S. When added to ArcMap with other data that draws in the correct location the data with the Zone 15S definition draws in the vicinity of the North Pole.

Units in feet? Nah, meters are standard for UTM.

False northing should definitely be 0, not 10 million!

Wait, is Louisiana really in UTM Zone 15S? Sounds off.

The 'S' means it's in the southern hemisphere, right?

I vaguely recall that UTM units are typically in meters, so I'm not sure why they would be in feet for this projection.

I practiced a question about UTM projections, and I feel like the latitude of origin should be around the equator, so -80 degrees seems off to me.

I think the false northing value is usually 10,000,000 meters for southern zones, but I'm not entirely sure if that’s the only issue here.

I remember that UTM zones are divided into northern and southern hemispheres, so the 'S' in Zone 15S should definitely indicate it's in the southern hemisphere.

The 'S' in the projection indicates south of the equator, so that part seems correct. I'm guessing the issue has to do with the false northing value or the latitude of origin. Time to put on my thinking cap!

Okay, the data is supposed to be in UTM Zone 15S, but it's drawing near the North Pole. That's definitely not right. Let me review the UTM system and see if I can spot the issue.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the UTM projection details carefully to figure out what's going on here.

Ah, I think I've got it! The false northing value for a southern hemisphere UTM zone should be 10,000,000 meters, not 0 meters. That must be the problem here.

I'm not totally sure about this one. I know Authentication and Authorization are important, but I'm not certain about the third component. I'll have to think it through carefully.

If this data was any further north, it'd be in the North Pole's Santa's workshop. Talk about a projection problem!

That makes sense. The latitude of origin being at 0 would definitely cause it to draw near the North Pole.

Hmm, the false northing value of 10000000 seems a bit high for this area. I bet that's the issue.

The 'S' in the projection definition is throwing me off. I thought UTM zones were numbered north and south of the equator, not based on row.
