On the east, the Lousiana Purchase was bordered by the Mississippi River.
On the Southwest, the border was with what was then Spanish Mexico. Mexico then included Texas (which then extended into what is now Wyoming).
On the Northwest and North, the border was the land area that drains into the Mississippi River (which includes the land area that drains into the Missouri River, among others). This border was very ill-defined at the time, and part of the mission of the Lewis and Clark Expedition was to find that border. As it turns out, that would have included certain areas in Canada (north of Montana) and excluded certain areas of North Dakota and Minnesota.
A later treary with the British "traded" some of that land, and established the border as 49 degrees North Latitude west of the Lake of the Woods in Minnesota.
