The Mississippi river was important to U.S. because they needed it to ship crops to markets. New Orleans was important to U.S. because the Americans traded in New Orleans.
Pickney's Treaty allowed the Americans to travel up the Mississippi River freely and the right to deposit good at the New Orleans docks. This was greatly appreciated by the Americans.
1. The Americans had free navigation of the Mississippi River & 2. Spain the right to trade with New Orleans
In 1784, the Spanish closed New Orleans to American goods coming down the Mississippi River. In 1795, the border was settled and the U.S. and Spain had a trade agreement. New Orleans was reopened and Americans could transfer goods without paying cargo fees (right of deposit) when transferring goods from one ship to another.

shipping rights on the Mississippi River and access to New Orleans
Spain, which held most of the territory west of the Mississippi River, refused to acknowledge America's westernmost boundary as the Mississippi where the Treaty of Paris had set it. Spain also denied the U.S. the "right of deposit" at New Orleans, which was also in Spanish possession. A right of deposit allows one nation to temporarily store goods on foreign soil without exorbitant fees. Both of those issues inhibited American trade on the Mississippi.
