Goodenow is an unincorporated community near where the Calumet Expressway and Illinois Route 1 combine in Will County, Illinois. It is in a semi-rural area with the closest town being Crete, Illinois to the north and Beecher to the south. It is very wooded and contains many houses on wooded lots with a lot of land. The major industry was the now-closed Beecher Landfill which took in garbage from throughout Chicagoland. The area north of the landfill is being developed from a mix of houses, farmland and small business to a single large intermodal freight facility.[1] To the east of the area is the 700-acre Goodenow Grove Nature Preserve. To the south, it is open farmfields for a several miles until you get to the town of Beecher. The town lies on the Valparaiso Moraine.
