This map is not completely accurate. When Michigan Territory was formed in 1805, the boundary extended through Lake Michigan from the southermost extreme to the northermost extreme. This moves the line in the northern peninsula west. The map also does not reflect the 30 townships transferred to Indiana upon formation of the state -- these were never a part of Indiana Territory. A much larger error, Illinois Territory was formed in 1809, reducing the size of Indiana Territory to roughly the size of the current state (less the 30 townships). The current map indicates that land was a part of the territory until statehood in 1816. older ≠ wiser 14:32, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, the map is terrible. Perhaps show the initial boundaries of the territory only? This complicated map can be included elsewhere in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.78.30.220 ( talk) 05:57, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
My addition of Louisiana District was reverted. I have it referenced and the article makes note that it was only nine months. The reverter said in the summary it was only temporary. Even it was temporary it is in sequence of events for the territory. The enabling legislation never said anything about it being temporary. The annexation is a source of considerable controversy and adds a lot to the notability of the territory. Americasroof 16:19, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
The section contains the statements It also included the portion of present-day Ohio west of the Great Miami River. This latter parcel became part of the state of Ohio when it was admitted to the Union in 1803. However the map shows pretty much the reverse of this. The original boundaries according to the Act Creating Indiana Territory, 1800 were "all that part of the territory of the United States north-west of the Ohio river, which lies to the westward of a line beginning at the Ohio, opposite to the mouth of Kentucky river, and running thence to fort Recovery, and thence north until it shall intersect the territorial line between the United States and Canada." When the state of Ohio was formed in 1803, the western boundary was defined as beginning from the mouth of the Great Miami River. The gore from the point opposite the Kentucky river to Fort Recovery to the Mouth of the Great Miami river was thus included in Indiana Territory. However the current phrasing is sourced to "Jervic, 53–54" and "Jervic, 110" (which I think is a typo for Jervis, Cutler & Le Raye, Charles (1971). A Topographical Description of the State of Ohio, Indiana Territory, and Louisiana. Ayer Publishing). This should be sorted out. older ≠ wiser 13:26, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Overall a nice article, but there are a few minor issues with prose, MOS and references, so I am putting the article on hold to allow you time to address my concerns.

When Indiana Territory was first created in 1800, it consisted of the following counties with creation dates in parentheses:
Wayne County, Michigan (18 Aug 1796) remained a part of the original Northwest Territory until the boundaries were adjusted with admittance of the state of Ohio in 1803. A portion of what became Indiana was a part of Hamilton County, Ohio (January 2, 1790) until creation of the state of Ohio. However, before that happened, Clark County, Indiana (February 3, 1801) was created in the gore that what was then still part of Northwest Territory. In 1803 upon Ohio statehood, besides the addition of Wayne County to Indiana Territory, Dearborn County, Indiana (March 7, 1803) was created. older ≠ wiser 22:18, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
There are several references notes for a source by "Dunn," but I can't find any anything to tell me what the source is. Can someone help? I could use note#33 for a requested citation in Siege of Fort Harrison. Mingusboodle ( talk) 06:13, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Just as a casual reader, it seems odd to me that the "History" section comes after the list of officials and political issues. It's a little jarring to read how the territory was formed after I've already been through the previous sections. Would anyone oppose an effort to re-order the main sections? I'd like to move the history to the top, and maybe incorporate the Geographical Boundaries as a sub-section. That would give more context to Wikipedia readers when they get to the sections on government, elected officials, and political issues. Canute ( talk) 14:19, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
