From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sepo is a kun, or county, in Kangwon province, North Korea. It was created as a separate entity following the division of Korea.
The county is primarily mountainous, and is traversed by the Masikryong and Kwangju ranges. There are numerous mountains outside of these two ranges as well. The chief streams include the Namdaechon, Yongjichon, and Komitanchon (고미탄천). 75% of the county's area is occupied by forestland.
Sepo is host to deposits of molybdenum, silver, zinc, and fluorite. Agriculture also contributes to the local economy; Sepo is particularly known for its radishes. In addition, livestock raising and orcharding play a role, and there is some small-scale manufacturing as well.
Railroads serving the county include the Kangwon Line and the Chongnyon-Ichon Line.
