Boundaries indicated as approximately following city limits shall be construed as following such city limits.

(4)

Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to be midway between the main tracks.

(5)

Boundaries indicated as following shore lines shall be construed to following such shore lines, and in the event of change in the shore line, shall be construed as moving with the actual line; boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerline of streams, rivers, canals, lakes, or other bodies of water shall be construed to be following such centerlines.

(6)

Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in subsections (1), (2), (3), (4), and (5) above shall be so construed. Distances not specifically indicated on the official zoning map shall be determined by the scale of the map.
