The current map is a fine map of the river's basin, but the article needs a map that shows the river's location within France.

Yes. At least in England, it always rhymes with "bomb". The reference is "reliable", but American, where there is "cot/caught merger": arguably the vowel might be lengthened, but I cannot imagine ("demerged") 'au'. LDEL (a UK offshoot of Merriam-Webster originally) gives just /sɔm/. I will be bold, to try to avoid lists of parenthesized pronunciation variations in the first sentence.

I checked further, and Merriam-Webster Collegiate 8th ed. gives /sɔm/ first, so I think that will do. (Actually their first key is "säm", as is "cot or cart", second is "sɘm", which would be the same as "some".
