Fintona ward lies within the rolling lowlands of County Tyrone, characterised by a mix of agricultural land and small settlements. The area's landscape is defined by its pastoral fields and the presence of the Owenkillew River, which flows towards the south. The local economy has traditionally been connected to farming and small-scale services centred on the village of Fintona itself.
A notable local landmark is the Fintona Railway Station, a preserved building that serves as a reminder of the area's historical transport links. The surrounding townlands feature a dispersed pattern of rural housing and community facilities. Land use is predominantly pastoral, supporting livestock farming across the ward's terrain.
