Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of districts shown on the Official Zoning Map, the following rules shall be used in determining the location of said district boundary:
   1.   Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streets, highways, or alleys shall be construed to follow such centerlines.
   2.   Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines shall be construed as following such lot lines.
   3.   Boundaries indicated as approximately following City limits shall be construed as following City limits.
   4.   Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to be midway between the main tracks.
   5.   Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streams, rivers, or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow such centerlines.
   6.   Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in Subsections 1 through 5 above shall be so construed. Distances not specifically indicated on the Official Zoning Map shall be determined by the scale of the map.
   7.   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 subsections 1 through 5 above, the Board of Adjustment shall interpret the district boundaries.
