The lay of the land in Sevier County
On the map, De Queen anchors the county as its seat, with Horatio, Lockesburg, Ben Lomond, and Gillham spread around it. Founded in 1828 and named for Ambrose Hundley Sevier, the county has land records that reach back a long way, which helps when you trace a title. By Census Bureau figures, the county had roughly 15,632 residents in 2023, spread over about 564 square miles of land. It is a rural county: tight town lots in Horatio, then fields, woods and small acreage splits along the back roads. Pond Creek National Wildlife Refuge is a big draw, and the private tracts that border public land are often the first ones hunters and cabin buyers ask about.
