Fillmore County is rectangular in shape, consisting of 24 townships, most of which are themselves rectangles, measuring 6 miles by 6 miles. The county is 24 miles north to south and 36 miles west to east. That's 864 square miles or 553,082 acres. Fillmore is bordered on the north by Winona and Olmsted Counties, to the east by Houston County, to the west by Mower County, and to the south by the Iowa counties of Howard and Winneshiek.

Each of the 24 Fillmore County townships is divided into sections, with most townships having 36 sections that are 1 mile x 1 mile. Sections in each township are numbered thusly:

6 5 4 3 2 1
7 8 9 10 11 12
18 17 16 15 14 13
19 20 21 22 23 24
