QGIS Project -- Create a Projection for Hamilton County Property Tracks and Water Data

Needing someone to create an overlay of property lines and main waterways (rivers, lakes, etc) in Hamilton County, Tennessee. After creating the overlay, we need to create a 1000 feet buffer around those waterways that I can use to pull a dummy variable (near water/ not near water). By the end, it should look something like the .png file I pulled.
