Haiti's historical issues notwithstanding, it is also incredibly dysfunctional politically. The difference in forestry policies alone between Haiti and the Dominican Republic make their land border almost possible to identify from satellite/aerial photos alone:
"It has been widely reported that in 1923 over 60% of Haiti's land was forested; the source of this assertion remains unknown but may be linked to the U.S. Marine Occupation in Haiti. In 2006, the country was claimed to have less than 2% forest cover."
