Gloria, Dick Lane's Corner is basically the intersection of Routes 657 and 666. These two roads become four roads at this intersection. What I mean by that is Ashcake Road after passing Lane's Corner becomes Ashland Road. This is Route 657. Route 666 changes from Blanton Road to Greenwood Church Road after passing through Lane's Corner. It's not your perfect squared off corner, but rather reminds you of most any typical "country-styled" corner requiring you to make a wide rounding turn in order to turn on one of the other roads. There are homes and farms in the area. Some of the farms are namesd White Oak Farm, Old Field, Maple Leaf Farm. Greenwood Church and a State Police Training Center are in that area as well. Not sure how much this helps. I'm working on getting some additional history of the area for you (and others who may be interested) and will post if/when I hear anything back.

Thank you so much for the info, Sheri I was wondering why it is called Dick Lane's Corner. My ggggrandmother who lived in the area (Arabella Lane Mallory) after the Civil War had a brother named Richard Lane. I was wondering if there was a connection. According to death records, some of the family was buried at Lanes Corner. All this is leading to confirming the names of Richard and Arabella's parents. I thought researching land records might help. Gloria
