A closer address (at least for Google) is 21 U.S. 1A, Van Buren, ME. This maps the entrance to the property where the US Border Patrol station is now located.
Today, there is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

The Gulf Station sits only on a small part of the drive-in, you can still clearly see the outline, ramps, and foundation to the projection booth and concession stand.

According to a 1994 aerial and previous topo maps, the screen was indeed next to the highway. However, the drive-in itself was rather rectangular running west to east and not dipping down towards the south. It appears that the car capacity was fairly small.
A somewhat more accurate address (at least for Google) is 9727 Route 66, Tulsa, OK. This marks the entrance to the property itself, not the intersection of which the drive-in was never located nor is next to like the storage company.
Today, God’s Shining Light Church sits on part of the property, but there is no trace of the drive-in remaining having been completely demolished shortly after it was closed.

A closer address (at least for Google) is
12536 County Rd 1000 E, Louisville, IL.
You can still see the general outline and the foundations for the screen and projector booth/concession stand. However, it does appear that other structures were built and torn down over the years on the property.

A closer address (at least for Google) is HWY 45 and Orange Street North, Ludlow, IL. The drive-in sat just to the west of the intersection on the southside of town.
Today, it is private property with no evidence that a drive-in was present.

Actually, the drive-in sat further up the road to the northeast. A church currently sits on the property and features a bright, red roof. Plus, you can still see the old entrance/exit roads, some ramps, and a building that sits where the concession stand/projection booth once stood.
Unfortunately, despite getting an address I cannot get Google to properly map the location.
The land that the drive-in was located on is untouched as it sits behind Speedway Ford. You can easily see the ramps, the remains of the concession stand/projection booth in the back, and the old entrance road runs just to the north of Speedway Ford’s Collision Center.
A more accurate address is 29080 U.S. 119, South Williamson, KY 41503. This marks the location near the old entrance to the drive-in.

Found it! The closest address I could get is
1291 Totuskey Church Rd, Warsaw, VA. The drive-in (and small track) can clearly be seen in a 1967 aerial photo.
Today, it is private property that sits on the south side of the road with two houses and no trace of the drive-in remaining.

A more accurate address for Google Maps is Old Quicksand Road and Turner Drive, Jackson, KY. The drive-in was located just to the west and is now a trailer park.
The entrance road is now Yunk Street where it meets Old Quicksand Road, but I could not get that to map.

Google Maps operates in the present, not the past. For location purposes, the address that correctly maps directly on the property should be used if accuracy is the primary factor.
It should be noted that Lodge Road did not exist in 1962 as the topo map indicates, so it cannot be the original address of the drive-in.
The use of cross streets in this case is closer, but not as close as 101 Lodge Rd, Hiawatha, KS which as the map indicates is smack-dab center of the property itself and is virtually next to where the projection booth/concession stand was located.
Naturally, it is up to the site administrator as to which address to use. IMO, accuracy is the most important factor when it comes to locating the property with Google Maps which means using modern addresses, not historic ones or cross-streets that are not as accurate.
A more accurate address (at least for Google) is 101 Lodge Rd, Hiawatha, KS.
This places it square in the middle of where the drive-in once stood. With the old entrance gone and the roads around the area radically changed, the 101 Lodge Rd address is correct one to locate the property on Google Maps.
