"NV USFSR4 1 D23" is actually located in Utah #77

Seems like a naming convention issue. "NV USFSR4 1 D23" plots in Utah, not in Nevada. Data plots properly, but this dataset name will lead to confusion. Similar to issue: https://github.com/hobuinc/usgs-lidar/issues/62

These names reflect a larger project area and are defined before agreements have been finalized. The name is maintained for consistency. In this case, it looks like this project also includes areas in Nevada and Idaho, as well as, Utah. The state two-letter designation can be confusing but it helps to realize it represents the primary state of the project and not necessarily the location of the deliverable unit that was part of that bigger project.

The graphic found in this report helps to understand the relationship of the Deliverable WorkUnit (NV_USFSR4_1_D23) with it's parent Project (NV_USFSR4_D23).
