Where is the Northwest territory?

Presumably in the northwest of something, though you'd need to be more specific for us to say the northwest of what.Canada has a region called the "Northwest Territories", which lies between Yukon and Inavut and north of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia. (Canada used to have a region called the Northwestern Territory that included the present Northwest Territories and some other land also.) The US used to have a region called the "Northwest Territory", which included the land that today makes up Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, and part of Minnesota (essentially: the land bordered by the Missisippi River to the west, the Ohio River to the south, the Great Lakes to the North, and Pennsylvania to the east). Since 1803 (when the state of Ohio was carved from it and the remainder was parceled into other divisions) the term has been politically obsolete, so a reasonable answer to your original question would be "in the history books."
