Strategic Resources not there, why?

The terrain on which a resource occurs is also an editor setting. For example, coal will only be found on
hills
mountains
jungles


Guess Firaxis has not seen central Illinois.

But if I clear the jungle so that it becomes grassland
before it is time for the coal to show up,
will the coal appear on that
grassland-tile despite that it should not appear there
acording to the settings?

Based on game play and comments on the forum, the location of strategic resources is based on original terrain type of tile. Thus if you have jungle and clear it for improvement, allocation of coal is based on original jungle type not on current grassland terrain type.
