Boundaries indicated as following shore or bank lines shall be construed to follow such shore or bank lines, and in the event of change in the shore or bank line shall be construed as moving with the actual line; boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines of streams, rivers, creeks or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow such center lines.

6. Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated on the zoning map shall be so construed.
