Or of course special mines. And it's always a tough choice whether to go for 2 cities without special bonuses versus 1 city with a decent gold or food bonus but a lower total population cap.
I very much favor rivers as well or squares with deer, makes for a nice food bonus that helps you to speed up your production early on.
