Sevenum's neighbour towns are (clockwise, starting from East): Blerick, Venlo, Maasbree, Evertsoord, Kronenberg, and Hegelsom. Currently, Sevenum is part of the municipality Horst aan de Maas, and is the second biggest town, after Horst, Limburg.

Dialect
Sevenum's dialect, "Zaerums", is transitional between Limburgish, North-Limburgish (see Low Rhenish), and Brabantian, which all have tentative borders within a larger dialect continuum.
The overview of town names in Limburgish at Streektaal.net [3] lists "Zaerum" (Sevenum) and "De Kroeënenberg" (Kronenberg), but it does not include "De Pieël" (Evertsoord), considering it to be in the North-Limburgish area.
