100% of players answered correctly.

THE CORRECT ANSWER: Massif du Nord

The Massif du Nord represents the most important mountain range in the northern part of the country. The true backbone of the Great North, this mountain system is the extension of the Dominican Cordillera Central. It extends from the border to the surroundings of Port-de-Paix, covering a vast rugged area.Its complex geography has historically provided strategic defense sites, as evidenced by the numerous colonial and revolutionary fortifications perched on its peaks.In addition to its historical aspect, the Massif du Nord plays a crucial ecological role by sheltering the sources of several important rivers which irrigate the fertile plains of the North and Northeast, thus supporting local agriculture. Its mastery is therefore essential for anyone wishing to understand Haitian territorial planning.
