The above address will map accurately to the location of the drive-in.
Here is a 1974 aerial photo of the drive-in, courtesy of Earth Explorer and USGS.
Now Donalsonville Church of Christ.
A closer address is 5544 Marianna Hwy, Donalsonville, GA.
Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right on the entrance road.
A 1957 aerial shows the drive-in intact, but by 1974 the screen was gone and replaced by the church. The projection booth/concession stand was removed as well.
Apart from the entrance and exit roads which are in use by the church and a private home respectively, only the general outline of the drive-in remains.
