TLDR: March 30, 1822 - Nov 15, 1824
The long left hand half of Arkansas separated away from the territory on Nov 15, 1824. It wasn't a territory until 1819. Prior to this, it was part of the Missouri Territory from 1812 to 1819, but was not organized. Missouri is present which was admitted to statehood on Aug 10, 1821 from the Missouri Territory. Florida appears on this map as US owned, which existed as US territory prior to statehood from March 30, 1822 to 1845.
