O.K.
This drive-in was located was located just SE of hwy 18, on County Highway 185 (near A St.) NOT County Highway 9.
A closer address (at least for Google) is Old Highway 18 and County Highway 185, Edgemont, SD. The drive-in was located just to the east and appears to be a auto salvage yard today. http://tinyurl.com/htcea2f
