The boundaries of these districts are shown upon the "District

A.
Where
uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of the various districts
as shown on the District Map, the following rules shall apply:
1.
Where a boundary line is given a position within a street, alley
or non-navigable stream, it shall be deemed to be in the center of
the street, alley or stream, and if the actual location of such street,
alley or stream varies slightly from the location as shown on the
District Map, then the actual location shall control.
2.
Where a boundary line is shown as being located a specific distance
from a street line or other physical feature, this distance shall
control.
3.
Where a boundary line is shown adjoining or coincident with a railroad.
It shall be deemed to be in the center of the railroad right-of-way
and distances measured from a railroad shall be measured from the
center of the designated main line track.
4.
Where the district boundaries are not otherwise indicated and where
the property has been or may hereafter be divided into blocks and
lots, such boundaries shall be construed to be the lot lines and where
the districts are bounded approximately by lot lines, said lot lines
shall be construed to be the boundary of such districts unless said
boundaries are otherwise indicated on the map.
5.
In unsubdivided property, unless otherwise indicated, the district
boundary line shall be determined by the use of the scale contained
on such map.
