Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the center lines or street lines of streets, or the center lines or right-of-way lines of highways, such district boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distance therefrom as indicated on the Zoning Map.

Where the boundary of a district follows a lake, river, stream or other body of water, said boundary line shall be deemed to extend to the water line; if the location of said water line is changed, the district boundary shall be relocated to conform to such change.
