Opening the De Queen GIS map

The viewer Sevier County publishes
The no-cost parcel map for this area is the Sevier County ArcGIS parcel map, and anyone can open it without signing up. Closer to Horatio, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. With a lot near Horatio, a pop-up or side panel typically gives the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, a parcel ID and often a sale date.
De Queen, AR: the basics
The town lies within Sevier County, Arkansas, and the county assessor maps its lots, especially near Gillham. As the county seat, De Queen hosts the courthouse, which puts the Circuit Clerk close by. For a parcel near Ben Lomond, city or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, but the county runs assessment and recording. Acreage past the city limits near Gillham usually falls under county rules instead.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Sevier County meets Howard County, Little River County, Polk County, and McCurtain County, OK, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Ben Lomond can be split in two county records, so check the neighboring map too. For property near Ben Lomond, our state page links each neighboring county map across Arkansas.

What the layers show
Around Gillham, look in the layer list for municipal boundaries, floodplain and sometimes zoning; not every viewer has them all.
Where the recorded documents are
For anything that matters, pull the recorded deed through the Circuit Clerk; the parcel map near Ben Lomond only summarizes it. Inherited tracts near Ben Lomond may sit on many deeds, so a title company can sort it out if money is changing hands.
Using it on a phone
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Gillham, so load it before you lose signal. A screenshot of the parcel near Lockesburg with its ID keeps working without signal.
When the map won't load
If the viewer stalls on a phone near Ben Lomond, try a desktop browser or clear the cache; the Platbookmapper county page tracks the current link.
What the map can't tell you
The acreage figure is a tax-roll number; only a licensed surveyor can set the real boundary on land around Horatio. For a home near Gillham, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Inside the parcel card
Recent sales on nearby lots in De Queen give a rough idea of values; an appraiser is the real authority.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
