A closer address is 504 S. Broadway Street, Mertzon, TX.
Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right on the projection booth.
The screen appears to be demolished in a 1971 aerial. The drive-in was seemingly built incorporating the natural ridges of the hill, making it rather unique.
Today, only the projection booth remains which appears to have been built from the rocks on the property, but that is a guess.
A closer address is 1901 Winnfield Hwy, Jonesboro, LA
This puts it right on the property, which was south of Jonesboro.
The drive-in appears intact and probably operational in a 1967 aerial. But by 1980 had been closed for some time. It was demolished by 1998.
Today, the property remains undeveloped and you can still see the outline, ramps, fragments of the entrance and exit roads, and the foundation of the projection booth.
In looking back at the 1957 aerial, I could see the faint outline of the drive-in, the ramps, and the projection booth or its foundation. By 1962, all remaining traces of the drive-in had been razed.

A closer address is 4220 Lincoln Street East, East Canton, OH.

Although most of the property is undeveloped, the only traces of the drive-in remaining are the entrance road which is now used to connect a few businesses to Lincoln Street, and remnants of the exit road which connects to Trump Avenue.
Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right on the property.
A 1957 aerial shows the drive-in intact, but appearing closed as some of the ramps are overgrown with vegetation. By 1965, it had been totally demolished and all traces removed.

Today, you can barely see some hints of ramps towards the western edge of property.
A slightly closer address is 2234 US-259, Daingerfield, TX.
This puts it on the same side of the highway just to the south of the drive-in.
A 1985 aerial shows the drive-in intact, but apparently closed. By 2004, trees were growing on the ramps. Today, it is fully engulfed by the overgrowth of trees.
The projection booth/concession stand appears to still be standing. But even if the booth and screen are still fully intact, there are power lines that cross through the middle of the drive-in. Making re-opening it a true challenge.
Although long closed, the drive-in remained intact if overgrown for decades. It was still intact as late as 1998 and possibly to 2004.
The drive-in sat one block north of Goldman Equipment. Today, it is an undeveloped field which holds some of the farm equipment from the store. The only remnant of the drive-in remaining is the entrance road.
A 1979 aerial shows the drive-in completely demolished. Only a hint of the ramps remain that are in the still undeveloped southeast corner of the property.

Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right on the property. However, it doesn’t like adding “Muleshoe”, but I put it in there and it works.
A 1984 aerial shows the drive-in intact, but I do not know if it was operational. By 1996, it had been demolished.
Today, you can still see the outline, ramps, and foundation of the screen. The house on the property sure looks like a projection booth/concession stand that was converted and had a new roof added.
There is also a rectangular concrete foundation close to where the marquee once stood, so that may be it.
The screen faced the northwest which was unusual since the light from the setting sun would shine on the screen. Most (but not all) drive-ins face their screens in some variation to the east.
With the foundation of the projection booth/concession stand now gone, the only remnant of the drive-in remaining is part of the entrance road. Although difficult to tell, the ticket booth appears to be gone as well. With a simple steel roof structure acting as a car port in its place.
