The boundaries of the zoning districts for the Town are shown upon the maps designated "zoning map" for the Town as of the date of the ordinance codified in these regulations. The areas within the Town boundaries shown on these maps, together with all notations, references, and other information shown thereon, are a part of these regulations and have the same force and effect as if said maps and all the notations, references and other information shown thereon were all fully set forth or described herein.

Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any zoning district shown on the zoning map, the following rules shall apply:
A. Where zoning district boundaries are indicated as approximately following street or alley lines or the centerlines thereof, such lines shall be construed to be the zoning district boundaries.
B. Where zoning district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow the lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be the zoning district boundaries.
C. Where zoning district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the line of any stream, irrigation canal or other waterway or railroad right-of-way, or the boundary line of public land, the center of such stream, canal or waterway, or of such railroad right-of-way, or the boundary line of such public land shall be construed to be the zoning districts boundaries.
D. In unsubdivided land or where a zoning district boundary divides a lot or parcel of land, the location of such boundary, unless indicated by dimensions shown on the zoning district maps, shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing on said maps.
E. Where such boundaries have been changed by the Town Council pursuant to Chapter 17.132 and where such changed boundaries are shown on detailed maps, the detailed maps shall govern in the event there is any difference between the boundaries shown on the zoning district maps adopted as part of these regulations, or subsequent amendments thereto, and the detailed maps.
