Narrative:
I briefly lost spatial awareness on the taxiway. I thought kilo was still on the right side of the aircraft but it had already passed. Upon reviewing the charts and the actual satellite imagery of the detroit airport layout there is a slight discrepancy between the two. On the chart it shows that after taxiway quebec there is a length [of] taxiway before you turn right onto kilo; but in reality you almost have to immediately begin the turn. I don't believe it was the cause but at least a contributing factor. In addition to this the hold short line is not where the chart says it is. The lido chart shows the hold short line much closer to the runway than it actually is. The flight itself was normal and upon arrival into dtw we landed on runway 21L and turned right off the runway at tango and were issued a clearance to taxi via tango and hold short of taxiway quebec and contact ground. Once we were holding short of quebec we waited for a crj to pass left to right on quebec and subsequently were issued a clearance to taxi to our gate via tango and kilo. Once underway; I was looking for taxiway kilo on the right side of the aircraft to turn onto. As this was happening my first officer went heads down. Unfortunately I briefly lost my spatial awareness and missed the slight right turn onto kilo and continued onto tango which inevitably caused the aircraft [to] pass the holdshort line of runway 22L. Realizing that the next turn wasn't kilo; but in fact runway 22L I stopped the aircraft and ended up on or just after the holdshort line since there was a considerable amount of pavement between us and where runway 22L actually began. Afterwards; I immediately contacted ground control. After telling them we had crossed the holdshort line they issued a clearance to taxi on runway 22L yankee 2 kilo and to the gate. Which we complied with and taxied to the gate without incident. I should review taxi clearances more closely before releasing the brake. I should not allow first officers to be heads down while the aircraft is underway while we have a turns that coming up.

Title: Air carrier Captain reported the Lido Airport diagram did not accurately depict the geography of the taxi route at DTW.
Narrative: I briefly lost spatial awareness on the taxiway. I thought Kilo was still on the right side of the aircraft but it had already passed. Upon reviewing the charts and the actual satellite imagery of the Detroit airport layout there is a slight discrepancy between the two.
