The drive-in sat east of town next to State HWY 76. I could not Google map an accurate address. However, an address that is next door is 6 Diamond Rd, Rawlins, WY. The drive-in sat just to the west of that location.
The drive-in appears to have been built in 1948 or early 1949 as it appears in a 1949 aerial, but not in a 1947 aerial. It also shows up on a 1976 topo map, but not a 1981 topo map, meaning it could have closed around that time.
Today, the property appears to be half-business, half-residential with no trace of the drive-remaining.
The Drive-In was located at 9 Yellowstone HWY, Douglas, WY. It’s on the west side of town across the river. The drive-in appears intact in a 1963 aerial, but by 1994 it was closed.
Today, a business sits on the property and even the ramps have faded to the point where they mostly cannot be seen.
Yet perhaps incredibly, the screen is still standing and looking in good shape.
The drive-in was located at 9842 Fort Worth Drive, Argyle, TX. A 1968 aerial photo shows the remnants of a demolished drive-in at that location on the west side of the road.
Today, the property is occupied by at least one business and a residence. You can still make out the vague outline of the drive-in.
jwmovies is right about the address. You can also use Union Road and 500 Ave, Herington, KS. The drive-in sat on the NE corner of the intersection. By 1971, the drive-in was demolished.
Today, it appears to be private property with little remaining save for the faint outline and what may be the foundation of the concession stand/projector booth.
Was the Sunset Drive-In located next to the South Twin Drive-In?
If so, the address would be Yarbro Lane and Abell Drive, Paducah, KY. The drive-in appears to have been built and opened before the South Twin, but it is clearly closed by 1968 as the screen is down.
Today, the property is split in half by Abell Drive and there is no trace of the drive-in remaining.
The drive-in was located at 8815 Cairo Rd, West Paducah, KY. It first appears in a 1957 aerial photo. At some point, the construction of HWY 60 wiped out the north side of the property where the screen sat.
Today, J.C. Cates Construction sits on the property along with a few private homes with no trace of the drive-in remaining.
To the east of the South Twin located at 3603 Clarks River Rd Paducah, Kentucky was another drive in. From the historic aerial photos, it was built and operational by 1952. By 1957, it was twinned.
By the 1981 aerial, the drive-in appears to be closed, but at least one screen is still standing. However, the best proof that this is the Starlite is that the entrance road is now named Starlite Drive. So, I believe this is the Starlite Drive-In.
Today, a business sits on the property and there is no indication of the drive-in visible.
A closer address is Oklahoma 9 and N4400 Road, Stigler, OK. The drive-in was located on the NE corner of the intersection.
A 1980 aerial shows the drive-in intact, but by a 1995 aerial, it had been demolished.
Today, the property is heavily overgrown with a cellphone tower on the NW tip. However, you can still see the ramps and perhaps some debris from the remains of the concession stand/projection booth.
jwmovies is correct, the address is Oklahoma 53 and Oklahoma 65, Walters, OK.
The drive-in sat on the SE corner of the intersection. Today, the property is empty, save for the bailed and rolled hay that is stored. You can easily see the ramps, entrance and exit road.
I cannot get an exact address on Google, but one that is next door is 401 Northeast Lincoln Road, Idabel, OK. The drive-in was located just to the south of this address.
It appears that a maintenance shop is on the property. You can still see the ramps and general outline. Plus, the marquee is still up, although not in very good shape, in front of the maintenance shop.
NYozoner is correct about the address, the drive-in was located at Alma Rd & Old State HYW 7, Velma, OK. It sat on the SE corner of the intersection facing North.
You can still see the outline of the ramps and the concession stand/projector booth is still intact.
The drive-in at the 940 Saltwater Road location clearly has the screen torn down. You can see the screen foundation, but the screen itself appears to be long gone.
The projection booth/concession stand does appear to be intact.
The drive-in was located at 2694 Inwood Ave, Rockwell City, IA. It sat on the NE corner at the intersection of Inwood Avenue and 270th Street about three miles west of Rockwell City.
It may have called itself the “Triangle Drive-In” because it advertised the location as being “West of Rockwell City, East of Sac City, and North of Lake City”.
Today, a business sits on the property with no trace of the drive-in remaining.

A 1959 aerial shows the drive-in open while one taken two years later shows it to be demolished. So, closing in 1960 appears to be true.
That should be “east” side of the road, not “west”.

The property sat for years after the drive-in closed basically untouched until 2005 or so when everything was removed.
Today, the land is clear with no trace that a drive-in ever existed. Even the foundation for the concession stand has been removed.

The property was redeveloped into what appeared to be a motel (several single units surrounding an open space which was torn down years later.
Today, there appears to be a single, large residence that is being built on the property.
The overhead on Google Maps shows the remains of the drive-in at 300 Archerfield Road, Richlands, QLD 4077.
However, a street view from April, 2017 shows the property to be developed, leaving no trace of the drive-in behind.

There is no indication that Pocahontas made it west of the Appalachian Mountains, much less all the way to what would become Iowa two centuries later.
Keep in mind that there are many places in the US named after famous people who never came anywhere close to them.
The address should be 6772 NY-415, Bath, NY 14810. The address accurately marks the drive-in. Was built by at least 1952, unsure of closing date.
Screen looks like it needs some repair work. Otherwise, everything looks intact.

Most of the property is home to Iowa Transportation-Highway, which would indicate a government installation that maintains roads and highways.
