A 1957 aerial shows the screen, but not the projection booth, so it appeared to be still under construction.
A 1977 aerial shows the screen, ticket booth, and projection booth.
Today, the property is an auto salvage yard. Only the projection booth/concession stand still exists.
As I stated on the Terrace Drive-In page, the North 21 Drive-In was positioned considerably different compared to the Terrace.
While the Terrace ran north to south with the screen on the southside, the North 21 ran west to east with the screen on the east side.
I’ve rarely seen drive-in screens face into the setting sun, which must’ve caused a few issues with start times.
Anyway, the funeral home that is currently on the property sits on the far western side. Most of the property is overgrown with trees and no trace of either drive-in can be seen.
This places it right next to the marquee, which was at the entrance of the drive-in. It is the address of Augusta Utilities which sits next to what is left of the marquee.
The land is completely overgrown with trees. Only part of the entrance drive still exists, but that is unrecognizable. Today, that small area around where the marquee once stood is a parking place for trucks.
Perhaps the only fragment of the drive-in remaining is where the marquee was located at the entrance. There is a power pole that may have once connected the marquee to the electrical grid. But that is about it.
Old topo maps show that what was Route 12 runs through East/North Montpelier.
Having said that, a 1966 aerial reveals nothing resembling a drive-in anywhere near that location. Nor does anything look like anything was recently built. Which should be the case for a drive-in that was closed the year before.
More information will be needed or better eyes than mine to spot the location of the drive-in.
A closer address is 1515 Archer City Hwy, Wichita Falls, TX.
Google Maps has updated their addresses. This puts it quite close to the entrance which sat right next to what is now Trinity Air Conditioning - Main Office.
A closer address is 28580 Old Hwy 18, Edgemont, SD.
Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right in the middle of the property.
Today, it is an auto salvage yard that has greatly expanded on the original outline of the drive-in. To the point where all traces of the drive-in are no longer visible. Apart perhaps from the entrance/exit road.
Residential housing and a solar farm have taken over the property. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

The screen is in exceptionally good shape. Its cinder-block construction will keep it that way barring a direct hit from a tornado.
A 1984 aerial shows the drive-in intact, but I cannot tell if it is operational. Probably not given that the grounds look somewhat unkempt.
Not only completely demolished, but no trace of the drive-in remains. Not even parch marks in the field.

By 2018, the marquee had been removed.
The ramps have almost fully faded away.
