The community of Good Water lies on Courtois Creek about 2000 feet north of the confluence and Missouri Route Z crosses the stream about 1000 feet east of the confluence. The headwaters of the stream arise just north of Missouri Route 32 about 1.2 miles (1.9 km) east-southeast of the confluence. Viburnum lies about 4.0 miles (6.4 km) west of the confluence.
