3D Territory / snapshot 14 November 2026
Haiti, lifted off the page.
Ten departments, extruded by population and coloured by the same scale, with the primary road network drawn across their surface. Cities sit where they actually are; the red markers are approximate, reported areas of armed-group influence — points of control and contestation, not front lines. Click anything to read its figures.
The 3D scene cannot start in this browser, but every location is listed in the place index below.
Heights are a visual scale, not a terrain model. Capital-area markers overlap at national scale — zoom in, or pick a place from the index. Boundaries are legal-style ADM1 polygons simplified for rendering.

How this map is built
Geometry. Department outlines come from geoBoundaries HTI-ADM1 (OpenStreetMap, ODbL 1.0), simplified and extruded in Three.js. Height is a population scale, not elevation.
Roads. Primary and national routes from OpenStreetMap, extracted once, simplified to roughly 50 m and drawn on top of each department's cap. They show network shape and roughly where the routes run, not surface condition or passability.
Projection. A local equirectangular plane, corrected for latitude. Good enough for a country-scale schematic; not a survey projection.
Markers. City coordinates are approximate centroids. Armed-group markers are reported points of influence compiled from public reporting and sanctions notices, not verified boundaries.
What is omitted. Front lines, checkpoints, road status and recent incidents are deliberately left out. Any of them would be stale within days and could be misread as operational guidance.
Confidence
Nothing here is security advice. Verify anything consequential against current primary reporting.
