All indications of ramps are now totally gone. It is just an empty field. There are faint remnants of the entrance road as it comes off the street. Otherwise, no traces of the drive in remains.
Pocahontas was over 1,000 miles away in the Jamestown Virginia area. She then moved to London, England with her colonist husband, then died on the return trip to the colonies. She was never anywhere near this area during her lifetime.
There is no indication that Pocahontas made it west of the Appalachian Mountains, much less all the way to what would become Iowa two centuries later.
Keep in mind that there are many places in the US named after famous people who never came anywhere close to them.
Did the real life Pocahontas come this town or the general area?
JWMovies is correct, 23128 520th St, Pocahontas, IA is the address (at least for Google). The ramps can still barely be seen. http://tinyurl.com/hl4hdtu
Approx. address for this drive-in was 23128 520th Street. The imprint is still there just east of town.
