The Fillmore County Surveyor is responsible for the restoration and perpetuation of over 2700 section corner monuments of the Public Land Survey System in Fillmore County and determines modern measurements of these monuments. These corners were originally established between 1852 through 1855 with mostly wood post and/or stones. The County Surveyor's office has on file a copy of these original Public Land Survey field notes. All property throughout Fillmore County is in some way described and located from these section monuments. Fillmore County pays $250.00 for each section corner monument restored with corner certificate filed by a professional land surveyor and approved by the County Surveyor.
