The image you're talking about corresponds to the leftCalloutAccessoryView property of MKAnnotationView.

Extract from the doc :

leftCalloutAccessoryView The view to display on the left side of the standard callout bubble.

You can implement a methods such as this :

- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id )annotation {

    MKAnnotationView* annotationView = nil;

    MyAnnotation *myAnnotation = (MyAnnotation*) annotation;
    NSString* identifier = @"Pin";
    MKPinAnnotationView* annView = (MKPinAnnotationView*)[self.mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:identifier];

    if(nil == annView) {
        annView = [[[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:myAnnotation reuseIdentifier:identifier] autorelease];
    }

    UIImageView *leftIconView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"LeftIconImage.png"]];
    annView.leftCalloutAccessoryView = leftIconView;

    return annotationView;
}
