+On the boundary plot, the x and y axes are labeled in units of decimal degrees. However, the CRS
+for `aoi_boundary_HARV` is UTM zone 18N, which has units of meters. `geom_sf` will use
+the CRS of the data to set the CRS for the plot, so why is there a mismatch?
+
+By default, `coord_sf()` generates a graticule with a CRS of WGS 84 (where the units
+are decimal degrees), and this sets our axis labels. To draw the graticule in the native
+CRS of our shapefile, we can set `datum=NULL` in the `coord_sf()` function.
