About this layer
Drive-in theaters peaked in the 1950s and 1960s, and while most have closed, a few hundred still show movies under the stars. This layer maps 4,060 drive-in theaters in the US listed on Wikidata, released under CC0, including many that have closed.
That makes it both a practical map and a history map: you can find a working drive-in for a summer night or see where old screens once stood in your area. Check a theater's own site for current showtimes and whether it is still open. Pair the layer with Filming Locations and Stories Set Here for a movie-themed map, or with Scenic Byways for a nostalgic road trip.
