The “Paramount & Desert Drive-In Theaters” advertised in the 1967 and 1969 editions of the Casa Grande Union High School yearbook, the Cougar.

A 1983 aerial photo showed the Desert still intact, but it had been split into two parcels by 1996. The west side is now the building and parking area for 240 W. Cottonwood Lane; the east (which included the screen) is the RV and boat storage lot at 140 W. Cottonwood Lane.

Looks like it was closed by 1963, it appears derelict in an aerial photo from that year.
