Narrative:
When crossing 25R at A6 after landing 25L; the 10-9 page does not accurately depict the taxiway configuration. The large gray area is labeled only as A6 when it is actually divided into A6 and B6 with an island between them. Today when I was 'cleared to cross 25R at A6 to B6; right on B; etc'. I went straight ahead as per 10-9 page instead of turning back to cross 25R at a 45 degree angle to get to B6 on the other side of the runway. The controller expected me to pick up B6 off the runway; and the page makes it look like I can just cross 25R from A6 and veer over to B6 after I clear runway. In actuality; you must cut back across 25R to get on B6. It was really not an issue today but it could be in other circumstances. So the B6 taxiway extends to 25R and should be labeled so on the 10-9.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: A B737 pilot reported landing on LAS Runway 25L with taxi clearance taxiway B6 to B but after crossing 25R he entered taxiway A6 because his tablet's Jeppesen airport diagram chart incorrectly depicted A6 but no adjacent; yet separate B6 exit off the Runway 25R.
