This system is in the game. You can look up info for Pokemon biomes. TL;DR is that open street maps lists zones related to terrain, and Pokemon GO has always had separate spawn pools related to these. The major ones are forest, mountain, waterside, and urban.
As of several years ago, this distinction was heavily reduced, and it largely flattened the spawn pools worldwide.
But in 2016-2017 I’d specifically seek out rivers to find Magikarp and lakes to find Poliwag.
