A closer address (at least for Google) is 15329 Twp-36, Nelsonville, OH 45764. This marks what is now Dow’s Roller Arena. The drive-in sat just to the north with the white-roofed building next to the road being where the screen once stood.
Today, there is no evidence of the drive-in remaining.

An address that maps better (at least for Google) is 8064 OH-366, Russells Point, OH. A 1959 aerial shows the remains of the drive-in which start from OH-366 and run north to Bell Avenue, and from Waterbury Rd east to Foster Rd.
Today, there is nothing left of the drive-in.

The Falls Motor Vu Drive-In was actually located on the east side of town per the opening ad page. Its address is 4300 2nd Ave N, Great Falls, MT.
Today, The Home Place, a business that sells prefabricated homes sits on the property. However, you can still see the ramps, entrance, and foundations of the projection booth/concession stand and screen.

A 1980 aerial photo from NETR Online shows the drive-in still intact. The extension to 3rd Street was not put in until later. Plus, the property today is a shopping mall with several businesses. The area itself still retains the overall unique shape of the drive-in.
Today, the property appears to be a large parking lot. There are a few small structures there which may indicate the remains of retail businesses. Otherwise, it’s just a parking lot.
Based on a 1952 aerial photo from NETR Online, it appears the drive-in was located where two baseball fields currently exist just south of the Habitat for Humanity.
Apart perhaps from the entrance/exit road, no trace of the drive-in remains.
A much closer address (for Google Maps) is Old Airport Rd & Edwards Street, Hattiesburg, MS 39401.
The problem with the 5320 U.S. Highway 49 Hattiesburg, MS address is that Edwards Street is “Business Highway 49”, not “U.S. Highway 49”. So Google maps it to the northwest of the city, not the southeast where the drive-in is located.
A closer address (at least for Google) is U.S. 77 & Market Road 1355, Kingsville, TX. as first indicated by Ret. AKC (NAC) CCC Bob Jensen, Manteno, Illinois in the first post.
Today, it is private property with no trace of the drive-in remaining save perhaps for faint hints of the ramps in the pasture.

Admittedly, addresses on the edge of town can be tricky for Google Maps, especially with no cross street to anchor it down.
Having said that, 298 W Yellowstone Ave Cody, WY is very close. You can see the remains of the drive-in just to the east of the Cody Stampede Rodeo as pointed out by NYozoner.

JWMovies is correct that the address he provided is off, considerably off, by more than a block and further away than the address he replaced.
A closer address is 808 NW 12th Ave Ava, MO which is right across the street from the remains of the drive-in.
Unfortunately, there are no cross streets near enough for a better address. Here is the map and if you can get a closer address, by all means, please do so.

Scheduled for completion in the mid-1970s, the builders behind the Eastland Shopping Mall ran out of money and the property sat there for years with the structure about 80% complete. My parents and I drove by the uncompleted mall for years.
When the money was finally gathered and the mall completed, the Woodland Hills Mall on the south side of town was built and flourishing. Although the location of the Eastland Shopping Mall may have prevented its success, it certainly would have enjoyed a better fate had it opened well ahead of the Woodland Hills Mall as it was supposed to.
The address (according to Google) is 1843 River Rd
Chillicothe, OH. Today, the property is home to the Air Evac Lifeteam 98 (complete with heli-pad) and a residence.

A somewhat more accurate address (at least for Google) is 1201 4th Ave SW, Bessemer, AL. From the 1970 aerial photo and 1967 topo maps, the drive-in sat entirely on the property currently occupied by the American Legion on the north side and Favor Steel on the south.
The treeline on the south side of Favor Steel marks where the old drive-in stopped.
There is no trace of the old drive-in remaining. The north entrance road to the American Legion marks where the old entrance to the drive-in was located.
