The funding district may embrace the whole or any portion of the joint highway district, and the funding district shall be divided into zones composed of the counties, or portions thereof, composing the joint highway district. It shall be a sufficient description of the boundaries of the funding district and the zones therein, if the same are clearly shown upon a map or plat attached to the resolution.
