Apr 19, 2023 at 15:57 comment added Hornbydd I created a national boundary of Canada by dissolving the provinces and ensured that was in the Canada Lambert Conformal Conic projection. That is the clipping outline I referenced in the maps clipping properties. I did not use it to actually clip the other datasets. That's the whole point of the map doing the clip you don't need to alter the other datasets if the purpose is for display only. You would want to actually clip the data if you were doing analysis so for example you get correct areas.
Apr 19, 2023 at 15:34 comment added Matthew That look great, and thanks for the clarification that "extent" is based on the rectangle shape. I am going to mark this as answered, but can you further describe the process of the clip? I am assuming you would need to make a new polygon, as you stated in the same projection, and potentially create the polygon based on coordinates and then clip the original layer to that?
