There was an apparently premature obituary for the Island in the Oct. 19, 1957 issue of BoxOffice:

BRUNSWICK, GA. – Curtis Stevens has closed the Island Drive-In because of other business interests. Stevens, who is a well-driller and operates a miniature railroad at the County Casino, said he (sic) not yet made plans to dispose of the property and equipment.

The above address will map accurately to the location of the drive-in.

Here is a 1968 aerial photo of the drive-in, courtesy of Earth Explorer and USGS.
