Google Maps cites the address as 3540 N White Sands Blvd, Alamogordo, NM. Currently, a pet adoption center and UPS Customer Center sit on the property.
However, you can see the remnants of the ramps on the north side.

A closer address (at least for Google) is 3500 SW 59th St, Oklahoma City, OK 73159. This puts the address on the west side of the highway where the drive-in was located. The drive-in itself was south of the address at the end of the entrance road which starts just to the east of the 3500 SW 59th St indication.

Sometimes, I agree. But when the address does work that to me is better.
I’ve noticed that every couple of years there are changes to Google Maps or sometimes the street names change or new streets are added. So, when someone steps in to make the changes on this site I accept it and applaud their efforts to make it more accurate.
As long as the results are more accurate of course. ;)
Google Maps clearly shows the entrance road as “26th Street” not “25th”. You can see it on the Google Maps street view.

I can’t speak for the business that is selling the property, but the street sign at the intersection is quite clear. The property itself is a new subdivision with different lots up for sale.
Please change the address to 1 N. 26th St, Beatrice, NE as it accurately maps the address, matches the street sign, and is in the same location to the old entrance road of the drive-in.
When mapping the address supplied by JWMovies, it is considerably off as it points to an empty field east of the airport.
A 1993 aerial and 1984 topo map clearly shows the drive-in on the West side of town. The entrance was at 279 S Thatcher St, Valentine, NE 69201. Valentine Locker sits too far west, one block over from the drive-in location
Today, a business sits on the property with no trace of the drive-in remaining save arguably for the entrance/exit road on Thatcher Street.

A more accurate address (at least for Google) is 3928 S Dixie Rd, Dalton, GA 30721. Today, the property is a trailer park with no sign of the drive-in remaining save for perhaps its general outline and entrance/exit roads. The drive-in itself appears to have only lasted a few years.

A closer address (at least for Google) is 921 N 4210 Rd, Hugo, Oklahoma. Today, B & B Onions sits on the property with no trace of the drive-in remaining save perhaps for its general triangular shape as the screen once stood on the SE edge.

The address (according to Google) is 2010 Ocilla Hwy, Douglas, GA. Today, CHR, a women’s health center sits on the property with no trace of the old drive-in save for the general outline.

According to the City of Maryville site, the drive-in was located about where Southerlands stands today. The address is 1718 South Main Street, Maryville, MO 64468.

The address is 30001 US-71, Maryville, MO. According to the 1985 topo map, it was in existence at that time. It also fits the description of being well south of town and difficult to find while still being on HWY 71.
You can see the ramps, projection booth/concession stand foundation, and the screen is still intact.

If Dallasmovietheaters is correct, then the address of 30001 US-71, Maryville, MO would be that of the South Cinema Drive-In, not the Starlight Dude Ranch since it was completely razed with a K-Mart built on the property.
The drive-in sat on a hill just to the south of where the Lawn Care Equipment Company building resides. You can still see remnants of the ramps and screen foundation. The ticket booth and the concession stand/projection booth appear to still be standing.
A large cell phone tower stands next to the projection booth/concession stand.
Based on topo and aerial maps from the time, there is no evidence to suggest that a third screen existed. It may be a fault of Google maps because it would have stood over the exit road. An aerial photo from 1978 does not show a screen in that location.
In addition to the big screen which still stands, although it is heavily damaged and deteriorated, the ticket booth is still present. However, both projection booths/concession stands appear to be totally demolished.
A closer address (at least for Google) is 63060 Highway 25, Smithville, MS. The drive-in is intact, complete with screen and projector booth/concession stand. As noted the ramps are curved in the opposite direction because the screen was moved.

The screen and projection booth/concession stand are still intact at least as of 2014. Plus, if the marquee is accurate, then the drive-in lasted well into the 90s as “Good Burger” was released in 1997.
It appears to have been a mobile home park that is now out of business. A 1960 aerial photo shows the drive-in appearing to be demolished, so it did not have a long life.
A closer address (at least for Google) is 417 U.S. 45, Columbus, MS. The drive-in sat at the intersection of US 45 and HWY 182 on the southeast corner.
Today, C & T Truck Parts sits on the property with no trace of the drive-in remaining.

A closer address (at least for Google) is County Road 210 and Highway 9, Pittsboro, MS. The drive-in sat just to the south of the intersection on the east side.
As indicated, the ramps still remain.

According to a 1991 aerial photo, the screen was actually on the north side of the property. The area where the screen was located is now fenced off, but you can barely make out where the supporting poles were located.
Found It. There is a drive-in that was located at 446 Faison Highway, Clinton, NC.
Today, it is the location of Robinson and Son Machine, Inc. There is little left of the drive-in save for the general outline seen behind the main building and the concession stand/projection booth, a two-story building, still stands.

I found that 201 S. Thatcher Street was too far north. 279 seemed to hit the entrance road dead-on.
Of course, things change on Google frequently, so perhaps 201 will be good again someday.

Although I cannot be certain, it appears from the aerial photos that the screen or at least part of it is still standing.
According to a 1991 aerial photo, the screen was actually on the north side of the property. The area where the screen was located is now fenced off, but you can barely make out where the supporting poles were located.
In addition, you can clearly see the foundation of the projection booth/concession stand just south of the storage buildings.
