You have a misunderstanding here.

Louisiana purchased nothing, the US purchased the territory that France identified as Louisiana which was much larger than the modern state of Louisiana. French Louisiana included all lands west of the Mississippi river except the southwest (claimed by Spain) and the Pacific northwest (claimed by England and Russia). However the precise boundaries of the Louisiana Purchase were (and still are) uncertain.
