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.
