The Bely Iyus has its sources on the eastern slopes of the Kuznetsky Alatau, at an elevation of 712 metres (2,336 ft). At the village of Maly Syutik it joins the Chyorny Iyus (or Black Iyus), the left source river of the Chulym. The Chulym together with the Bely Iyus is 2,023 kilometres (1,257 mi) long, and is thus one of Siberia's main rivers.
The village Iyus (Ordzhonikidzevsky District) is situated on the Bely Iyus.
