Where uncertainty exists as to the exact location of any boundaries shown on said Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
a. 
Zone boundary lines are intended to follow the center line of streets, or railroad rights-of-way, or streams and lot or property lines as they exist on plats of record at the time of passage of this ordinance unless such zone boundary lines are fixed by dimensions as shown on the Zoning Map.

Where such boundary lines are not fixed by dimensions and where they do not scale more than ten feet distant from a plat or tax map lot line, such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundary lines.

In unsubdivided land, or where a zoning district boundary divides a lot and actual dimensions are not shown, the location of such boundary shall be determined by measurement according to the scale shown on the map.
d. 
Where physical or cultural features existing on the ground are at variance with those shown on the Official Zoning Map, or in other circumstances not covered by paragraphs a, b and c above, the Zoning Board of Adjustment shall interpret the district boundaries.
