About this map

Erdman Ranch and the small settlement of Redus anchor this high plains landscape in Sioux County during the early 21st century. The region's agricultural character is defined by an extensive water management system, centered on the Interstate Canal as it winds through the terrain. This engineering is further supported by numerous irrigation branches such as Lateral Number 18 and Lateral 21 Main, which facilitate ranching in a naturally arid environment.

Social and geographic landmarks provide specific points of interest for local history, including the Spottedtail Community Hall and the Selby Windmill. The natural drainage of the area is marked by Spottedtail Creek and Dry Spottedtail Creek, while Rattlesnake Hill serves as a prominent topographic feature. A network of rural roads, including Cook Oil Rd and Co Road Shopping Ctr, illustrates the modern infrastructure connecting these remote ranching outposts.
