Sorry for the delay in responding. I will need a few days to study the information at the links provided. I'm still trying to figure out which projection (or whatever) to use. I will reply back with either more questions or to mark as answered. Thanks again.

I have many maps made with ArcMap for desktop. In the picture below I have a box with text and an arrow pointing to a location. I don't remember what I used to make this but I think it is made with the "Draw" toolbar and it is a rectangle with a separate "line". The line has an arrow on one end. Some of these are similar except without the arrow. I had many of these on my maps and now they don't show on the maps. I don't know for sure if it is related but this seemed to happen after I upgraded from 10.6 to 10.7 They don't show at any zoom level or data view / layout view. Anybody have any ideas how to get these back? Maybe they are in a style file? Are they considered annotations? Let me know if you need any more information or if you want me to check specific things.

Thank you! I could not find the files listed at the link. I went to Windows control panel and Programs and Features and selected ArcGIS 10.4.1 for Desktop and clicked Uninstall and then selected Modify, I selected Python and something like this feature not available (or whatever), which uninstalled only the Python part of ArcGIS. Then, I restarted the computer, went back to control panel, programs and features, selected ArcGIS again and modify and this time I selected Python and the option to make it available all the time (something like Run from this computer). Restarted the computer again and ArcMap started normally.

Thanks for the help Gerry. I downloaded the data as shapefiles, one from an American source and the other from a Canadian source. I don't have raster or DEM data for this map because the map will be used on GPS only.

So my answer not the solution. Could you mark your answer is correct for this question if you are sure the files were corrupted ? or let your question open by remove the mark correct answer to get more helpful answers.

Thank you, I finally took your initial advice about uninstalling. I uninstalled and re-installed Python and then from the Windows Control Panel, Programs and Features, Uninstall or change a program, I selected ArcGIS 10.4.1 for Desktop and clicked Uninstall/Change which popped up a window which gave me the option to "Repair" the ArcGIS installation and now it is working perfectly.

I have managed to put together a very complex topographic map, learning along the way. I am looking for someone who can evaluate the map and tell me if the map can be improved, or if anything is done incorrectly. It would be great if there was someone in the Minneapolis/Saint Paul, Minnesota area who could check the map in person. Otherwise, the evaluation could be done online by screen sharing with webinar type software. I can pay to compensate for your time.

Thank you Dan and Abdullah, I wish there was a way to mark both answers as correct. Abdulah, I really appreciate the specific instructions to use Define Projection tool not Project tool. Dan, your explanation that " NAD83 is a datum, which just describes the 'shape' of earth" was very helpful to me. I was using the Define Projection tool, but I was typing 4269 into the search box which was giving me a GCS. After reading your advice, I clicked on Projected Coordinate Systems instead and then chose the PCS and UTM Zone appropriate for the location and it worked perfectly.
