Most of the trees cover that existed prior to European colonization has been removed due to farming and the production of charcoal fuel for cooking. Haiti is crossed by several large rivers, but the longest and well-known one is le Fleuve de l' Artibonite. The four main plains include the Central, Northern, Artibonite, and Plaine du Cul-de-Sac which is very close to Haiti's, Port-au-Prince located on the west side of the island.
The mountains are punctuated by hills and valleys, where most people live and work. The highest peak, Pic la Selle, is located in the Massif de la Selle and rises to 8,793 feet (2,680 meters). The southern peninsula boasts the Massif de la Hotte and Massif de la Selle. The northern Massif du Nord is part of the island's backbone, which Dominicans call the Cordillera Central. Haiti's portion of Hispaniola is significantly more mountainous than the rest of the island, with successive mountain chains running east to west on both peninsulas. The mountainous, nearly barren island of la Gonâve, which belongs to Haiti, rests in the center of the gulf.
It is comprised of two peninsulas split by the Gulf of la Gonâve. According to geographers' experts, Haiti is about three times the size of Cyprus Island but is slightly smaller than the U.S. Haiti covers 10,714 square miles, which stands for (27,750 square kilometers) of the island known as Hispaniola, which it shares with the Dominican Republic.
