Boundaries
The Nebraska Territory's original boundaries (as specified by its Organic Act) included much of the original Louisiana Purchase; the territory's boundaries were:
- Southern – 40° N (the current Kansas–Nebraska border);
- Western – the Continental Divide between the Pacific and the Atlantic/Arctic Oceans;
- Northern – 49° N (the U.S.–British North America border);
- Eastern – the White Earth and Missouri rivers.
