CRS problem after raster reproject via QGIS Warp

Question

I have a land cover raster downloaded from NLCD website with CRS as **EPSG: 42303** - NAD 83/Albers NorthAM. I reprojected it to **EPSG: 102740**, Texas State Plane South Central Zone 4204 via Warp of QGIS. However, when I check the the reprojected new raster CRS, it shows its CRS as

USER:100030 - * Generated CRS (+proj=lcc +lat_1=28.38333333333333 +lat_2=30.28333333333334 +lat_0=27.83333333333333 +lon_0=-99 +x_0=600000 +y_0=3999999.999999999 +datum=NAD83 +units=us-ft +no_defs) - Projected.

Should not it be EPSG 102740 as I directed Warp to do?

Or how I can fix this bug (if it is a bug of QGIS Warp).

Answer 1

There is no EPSG:102740 as you can check from https://www.epsg-registry.org/. It is actually a code defined by ESRI https://spatialreference.org/ref/esri/102740/. However, GDAL does know what it means and is using EPSG:102740 as a synonym in reading.

PROJ.4 : +proj=lcc +lat_1=28.38333333333333 +lat_2=30.28333333333333 +lat_0=27.83333333333333 +lon_0=-99 +x_0=600000 +y_0=3999999.999999999 +datum=NAD83 +units=us-ft +no_defs

The CRS that QGIS saves as USER:100030 has all correct parameters and it should work just fine for you.
