Belmond stands at the confluence of the East Branch Iowa River and the West Branch Iowa River, where they merge to form the Iowa River. This survey illustrates a classic northern Iowa agricultural landscape organized by a strict township-and-range grid, yet softened by the winding courses of Luicks Cr and Ditch Number 146. The town's infrastructure is clearly defined, from the urban street grid of its residential core to the Belmond Municipal Airport on the northern outskirts. Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds, including the Belmond Cem, Saint Francis Cem, and Immanuel Reformed Cem. The transition from old transit corridors to modern recreation is visible along the Franklin Grove Heritage Hiking and Biking Trl, which skirts the eastern edge of the community.
