The NASA (U.S. National Air and Space Administration) image below in the NY times article I referred to yesterday very nicely shows the Enriquilla-Plantain Garden Fault running left to right across the bottom of the photo. Click on the photo for more detail.
Other impressive images of Haiti can be found on this NASA web page.
These images are linked from NASA's general web page on Haiti, which includes other useful maps and information. (Strange that such awesome images are embedded in an unsightly web page that looks like a large bruise, as black and blue as it is.)

San Andreas fault - amazing image

UAVSAR (Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle Synthetic Aperture Radar) image of the San Andreas fault in the San Francisco Bay area just west of San Mateo and Foster City. The fault runs diagonally from upper left to lower right. The body of water along the fault line is Crystal Springs Reservoir. Image credit: NASA/JPL
