The Louisiana Territory included everything in the Louisiana Purchase north of the 33rd parallel (the southern boundary of the present state of Arkansas). The present day states that sit in the Louisiana Territory are: Minnesota, Iowa, Arkansas, Missouri, northern Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, North Dakota, South Dakota, part of Montana, part of Colorado, part of Wyoming, and Nebraska. The cost of the Louisiana Purchase was $15 million, less than $1 an acre.
Minnesota was part of the Louisiana Purchase, and the Northwest territory depending on the location since the Mississippi River was the boundary. Part of it was Rupert's Land. As the land became more settled, name changes happened. Illinois territory, Michigan territory, Iowa territory, Wisconsin territory, and Minnesota territory.
The Arkansas River is the river in the northern portion of the Louisiana Territory. The boundary to the north was along the 100th meridian to the Arkansas River, then westward to its source in the Rockies.
