Based on taking a vector from a TTR view spot, I believe the "drive-
in" is located in this general area. You can see two scrapings near

I keep thinking it looks like some sort of munitions testing area, perhaps
for range firing new types of projectile loads?
There are none of the typical impact craters one would expect to see
surrounding it though...

I couldn't get a good matching look in the mapper or GE, darn.

If you switch the acme mapper to topo, there is a label of "rock
target" in the general area, though not in the drive-in theater. I
always assume the USGS topos are stone age, so this place has been
targeted for some time. However, no bombing damage is present. It
could be a photo target.
