With all that gold and the poor terrain, I would build a city on the forest to the N of the gold S of the lake, a city to the South of the gold 1 tile E of the forest and a city to the W of the gold 1 tile N of the lake.
This would give you serious overlap which I certainly wouldn't care about in this situation, but also fantastic commerce. You need as many of the gold worked ASAP.
