In unsubdivided territory or where a zone district boundary line divides a lot or parcel, the location of such line, unless indicated by dimension, shall be determined by the scale of the zoning map. Land which is not part of a public railroad or utility right-of-way and which is not indicated as being in any zone district shall be considered to be included in the most restricted adjacent zone district, even when such district is separated from the land in question by a public railroad or utility right-of-way.
