There shall be only one Official Zoning Map, which shall be kept in the office of the Town Clerk, and it shall bear certification that it is the Official Zoning Map of the Town and its date of adoption. Said Zoning Map, which shall show the boundaries of the zoning districts herein established, together with all explanatory matter thereon, is hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this chapter.

Said Zoning Map shall be on material suitable for reproduction. Copies of this map, which may from time to time be published and sold, would be accurate only as of the date of their printing and shall bear words to that effect.

Changes made in zoning district boundaries or other matters portrayed on the Zoning Map under the provisions set forth herein shall be permanently affixed to the Zoning Map promptly after a local law amendment has been approved by the Town Board and shall convey information as to the date and nature of the change. No amendment to this chapter which involves matters portrayed on the Zoning Map shall become effective until such change and entry has been made on said Zoning Map and has been attested by the Town Clerk.

Boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines of streets or highways shall be construed to follow such center lines.

Boundaries indicated as approximately following the municipal limits of the Town shall be construed as following such municipal limits.

Boundaries indicated as following the center lines of streams or other water bodies shall be construed to follow such center lines.
