A more western Adams-Onis

The Sabine River does make a good border.

I would describe the concept as the Louisiana Purchase buying the Mississippi Watershed claim and the French Texas claim.

The Neutral Ground was not administered since 1806, I doubt Louisiana would much miss. The rivers within this area do not attach to the Mississippi River so trade wise, the people in the Neutral Ground are disconnected from New Orleans. In my post I suggested expanding it up to the Red River so some of the outside the residents outside the Neutral Ground will be dependent on New Orleans for trade, but I suggested this because the Red River makes a better border than the Arroyo Hondo creek. There is precedent with New York giving up its claims on Vermont as well as the Erie Triangle, and later OTL Texas gave up the Cimarron Territory.
