There is a nice map here, archived here (the Pothong River is on the right), and it appears to be public domain under North Korean law. It comes from the book Pyongyang (1990, Pyongyang: Korea Pictoral).

  Copyright Law[1] of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Article 12:

국가관리 문건과 시사보도물, 통보자료 같은 것은 상업적목적이 없는 한 저작권의 대상으 로 되지 않는다.

Documents for state management, current news or information data shall not be the object of copyright unless commercial purpose is pursued.


This work is from any of the items above and is in the public domain in North Korea (with legal jurisdiction north of the 38th parallel only), and thus is exempt from copyright.


 
  Copyright Law[1] of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Article 32[2]:

A copyrighted work may be used without the permission of the copyright owner, in the following cases:

  • [...]When a copyrighted work is quoted,
  • When a copyrighted work is performed free of charge,
  • When a copyrighted work in public places is copied.

The Wikimedia Foundation is a non-commercial, non-profit organization, and thus the respective copyrighted work, created within North Korea (with legal jurisdiction north of the 38th parallel only), is permitted for use on all of the Wikimedia Foundation projects.
