As mentioned below, it was also "Rivière Froide" in maps from US Defense
Mapping Agency.
Please, don't propagate a reading error any further...
(If you absolutely had to translate, it would be Cold River, but I don't
think it would be appropriate to translate toponymy like this. Imagine
changing all the "Morne" to "Mountain" ? Or "Rue" to "Street" ??).

Can provide as needed.
The river name issue might need some research, you could be right, not
sure. It is the one S of Carrefour indeed.
Main point was to make sure we label all main geographic features as
possible.
Thanks for checking it.

Lóránt,
Would the licence allow integration in OSM ? If yes, this would likely
be interesting.
Regarding "Riviere Frorse", thank you for pointing out a possible lack
in OSM.
However, if you are referring to the river that runs through
Carrefour, it seems that, at least on the following maps, it is
labeled as "Rivière Froide", as in OSM.
(Might this come from an erroneous reading on a scanned map ?)
