LACROIX. Plain extending at the entrance of the Ravine à Couleuvres, near the Gonaives, rural section of Desdunes. It is also called Savane Désolée. It is crossed by a stream of the same name that rises on the Montagne Noire and flows into the Laquinte. It is famous for the battle fought between Toussaint Louverture and Rochambeau on 23 February 1802, after the battle of the Ravine à Couleuvres.
