Here is the State boundary between California and Nevada on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe where the state line crosses inside of the Cal / Neva Casino. The state line is actually painted inside to allow patrons to do the 'Cal / Neva Jig". Not to mention in their pool too...

I'll assume the double-district line was a slight of digitizing, as opposed to the Island actually having a DMZ. Whatever it takes to keep those pesky Central Androsians out of North Andros!

I didn't know that and I was a California resident for 50 years!

My excuse: I've never been in a casino, much less the Cal/Neva.
