The Louisiana territory as acquired in the Louisiana Purchase included land that spanned from Louisana in the south to Montana and North Dakota in the north. It also included a small portion of land from two Canadian provinces: Alberta and Saskatchewan. The territory north of the 49th parallel was ceded to the British in 1818.
