Lane is a small farming community in Jerauld County, South Dakota, with just 49 residents. This unincorporated settlement sits in the James River valley of central South Dakota, where agriculture dominates the landscape. With only 19 households spread across 0.65 square miles, Lane represents one of South Dakota's smallest populated ZIP codes.

The community is overwhelmingly white (96%), with a small Hispanic population (18%). Transportation and warehousing employ 7 workers, the largest sector, while no residents work in agriculture despite the rural setting. Twelve homes were built before 1939, showing Lane's long history as a rural settlement.
Mail to Lane can be addressed using either rural route delivery or the limited PO Box options. General Delivery is available at the post office for those without established addresses. Despite the PO Box classification, this isn't a PO Box Only Zone. Street delivery via rural carrier route serves the majority of residents.
Street names follow a traditional small-town pattern with numbered streets and named avenues.
