Yes. It divided the land acquired from France in the Louisiana Purchase, and it was a good deal, a simple 'line in the sand' that managed to keep the peace for thirty years. Although neither side was entirely happy with it, at least they were equally unhappy, and ironically this did manage to keep the balance.
It was only the acquisition of the vast new territories from Mexico that required a new compromise. That one did not hold.
