NEIGHBOR

By ANTONIO RUIZ

HAITI In all the seaports, the

chief cities of the Republic of Hai

ti, beautiful green mountains form

the background of the charming

landscape. Os the total area of the

country of 10,700 square miles, 8,-

000 square miles are mountains.

There are three principal ranges

with several large plains lying be

tween them and along their out

er fringes. One range, including

large groups known as La Horte

and La Selle, extends from east to

west along the lower peninsula,

while the other two stretch from

the southeast to the northeast

across the mainland an northern

peninsula.

The highest mountain in Haiti is

Morne La Selle in tfce southeast,

which reaches an altitude of 8,700

feet above sea level. There are

four plains of major importance in

the country: the North Plain, lying

along the northern east coast be

tween the mountains and the sea;

the Central Plain, a large interior

flatland, bordering the Dominican

Republic, and the Artibonite and

Cul-de-Sac Plains, which spread

eastward from the Gulf of Gonave.

Haiti has numerous rivers,

most of them short, rapid streams

coursing down the mountain slopes

into the sea. The Artibonite River,

however, which drains the Arti

bonite Plain on its way to the Gulf

of Gonave, has a length of 200

miles from its headwaters in the

Dominican Republic to its mouth.
