In unsubdivided property or tracts, where a district boundary divides a lot, the location of such boundaries, unless same are indicated by dimensions, shall be determined by use of COB and Folio together with the scale appearing on such maps.

Where boundaries are indicated as following water courses and other natural topographic features, such lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
