Landis sits in the Rural Municipality of Reford No. 379, on Highway 14, about 51 kilometres south of Wilkie and some 128 kilometres west of Saskatoon. From 1907 to 1909 the local post office, at Section 23, Township 37, Range 18 west of the 3rd meridian, went by the name Daneville. The community incorporated as a village on May 17, 1909.
By 1925 Landis was a Canadian National Railway station on the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway line. The village had a K–12 school in the Sun West School Division, which was renovated in 1994 and closed for good in July 2014.
About three kilometres west of the village lies Landis Lake, a small salt lake that has no outlet. It is part of the Landis Lake Important Bird Area, a significant gathering place for shorebirds, with a stretch of shoreline designated as critical piping plover habitat. Stilt sandpipers, sanderlings, red-necked phalaropes, pectoral sandpipers, American avocets and lesser yellowlegs are also found there. The lake relies on spring runoff and seasonal rains, and in dry years it dries up completely. The Landis Historical Society has written two volumes of The Landis Record, the community's history book.
