following the centerlines of streets, streams, highways, or railroads,
such boundaries shall be deemed to be located at such midpoints.
2. Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately
follow lot lines or section lines, such lines shall be construed to

may be continued. A non-conforming building, structure or portion
thereof which is or hereafter becomes vacant and remains unoccupied
or, in the case of use of land, ceases such use for a continuous period
of six (6) months shall not thereafter be occupied or used except
by the uses which conform to the use regulations of the district in
which it is located. In those instances where non-conformity of use,
land, or building exists, clear intent upon the part of the owner
to abandon the non-conformity or non-conformities shall thereafter

which it is located.
2. Non-conforming uses of land may not be sold, transferred, conveyed,
or otherwise follow the land.
