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.

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.

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.
