How to Use This Goodenow, Illinois Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Goodenow, Illinois. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Illinois or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Goodenow.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Goodenow emerges from the flat, expansive Illinois prairie where the quiet movement of Plum Creek traces a meandering path through the earth. It lies 7.2 miles south-southeast of Park Forest, IL (from Park Forest, IL: bearing 164°T), and is situated 7.9 miles south of Chicago Heights. The landscape here favors the long, low horizon, where the sky claims more than its share of the view, pressing down upon fields that stretch toward the distant, faint silhouette of Blue Island Ridge. Sunlight across these open reaches takes on a pale, clarified quality, especially during the late afternoon when the shadows of oak and ash grow elongated and thin. A mere mile away, the quietude of Goodenow Grove Nature Preserve 1 offers a reprieve from the open expanse, providing a dense, protected sanctuary where the soil remains damp and the air carries the scent of decaying leaves and deep, undisturbed earth.

Goodenow retains the deliberate, measured pace of a place long defined by the rhythm of the rail and the harvest. Once a junction where the commerce of the interior found its footing, the locality persists as a quiet witness to the shifting tides of Midwestern industry, moving away from the clamor of heavy transit toward a more settled, agrarian stillness. The economy remains tethered to the productivity of the surrounding soil, where the seasonal cycle of corn and soybean dictates the urgency of the year. While Deer Lake sits five miles distant, serving as a silent anchor for the local geography, the true character of Goodenow persists in the way the morning mist clings to the creek bed, marking the slow, steady passage of time in a landscape that neither demands nor offers much in the way of spectacle.
