When I go to the city view, I see the squares that the citizens of the city
are (or could be) working. Does that mean that all that space between my
cities that does NOT show up when I go to a city view is wasted? Is
irrigation and mining pointless on those spaces?
Thanks.

Any improvements outside city squares are useless, except for
roads/railroads connecting cities. Also, if you find a resource that is
outside of your territory you can build a road leading to it and a colony on
top of the resource.

Yes.

Absolutely.

You might want to read up on OCP other city placement strategies on
civfanatics.com to reduce this wastage.

See http://www.civfanatics.com/civ3aca [...] am.shtml#b for a short
intro to OCP.

And, if you have several wasted squares, consider building a new city to
allow those squares to be worked.

Mining is pointless, unless you expect at some point to build a city nearby.

It might be necessary to irrigate a chain of squares to bring water within
reach of your cities.

Enemy civs can't use roads within your borders, so you get an enormous
tactical advantage over invaders if you build a dense road network.

The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that
English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words;
on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them
unconscious and riffle their pockets for new vocabulary. -- James D. Nicoll
