Belmond is the central hub of this Wright County landscape, situated where the West Branch Iowa River and East Branch Iowa River converge to form the main stem of the Iowa River. The town's grid is well-defined by a network of streets including E Main St and several numbered avenues, while the surrounding countryside is characterized by intensive agricultural land management. This management is evidenced by the prominent presence of Ditch Number 146 and other drainage features like Luicks Cr, which serve the low-lying prairie terrain. Genealogists will find several notable burial sites scattered across the township, including Belmond Cem, Saint Francis Cem, and the Immanuel Reformed Cem. The northern outskirts are marked by the Belmond Municipal Airport, highlighting the modern transport infrastructure serving this rural community.
