East in Mississippi River and West in Rocky Mountains
The eastern border of the United States was still the Atlantic Ocean, but after the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, the western border wasn't well defined. We bought the place from France, and even the French weren't entirely sure what they were selling, or what we were buying. Nominally, the Louisiana Purchase included all of the land drained by the Mississippi River, so the western border should have been the Rocky Mountains and the Continental Divide.

In 1803, the boundary line between the United States and French Louisiana was primarily defined by the Mississippi River, which served as a natural border. The U.S. territory extended to the west of the river, while French Louisiana encompassed land to the west and south of this boundary. However, the exact delineation of the boundary was somewhat ambiguous, especially regarding the northern and western limits of Louisiana. The 1803 Louisiana Purchase later expanded U.S. territory significantly, further complicating these borders.
