Found It!
The property is now the Peace of Prairie Farm Stand with a listed address of 6221 W. Okmulgee Ave, Muskogee, OK. However, on Google Maps it’s close, but does not quite line up properly.
A 1974 aerial shows the drive-in intact, but by 1980 it was demolished. Today, you can still see the entrance road, outline, and a few of the ramps.

The P&M drive in was built by Proctor and Marsh Circuit in 1947 and launched in 1948 on a ten-year lease. A competing drive-in, the 64, was also built in 1947 and opened in 1948. The 64 Drive-In was bought out becoming part of the same portfolio as the other local theaters including the P&M. The P&M closed August 27, 1958 after a final showing of “The Ten Commandments.” A new ozoner, the Sunset Drive-In, then opened to compete with the 64 Drive-In.
the P & M (Proctor & Marsh) drive-in theatre opened on May 3rd, 1949, according to its grand opening ad.
