MD80S aircraft in cruise and on J-181 crossed neosho, mo, and flew the 042 degree radial outbound as depicted on hi altitude chart 2. However, on the bottom of hi altitude chart 1 the course is shown as 032 degrees. ATC contacted flight crew advising them that they were 20 mi off course when 100 mi northeast of eos.

Narrative:
Location: eos VOR outbound on J-181. On flight X, sep/xx/97, from dfw to ord we were outbound J-181 from neosho to bradford when ZKC called and asked us if we were going direct to bdf. Center showed us 20 NM off the airway to the east. We dialed in bdf and concurred with center. We corrected back on course. Looking at the hi 1-2 chart effective sep/yy/97, we discovered that one side of the chart showed a 042 degree radial for J-181 out of neosho VOR and the other side showed 032 degree radial for J-181 out of neosho. This is an error on the commercial chart which caused a 20 NM error when discovered 100 NM out the 042 degree radial of neosho. Center was advised of the chart error and so was company dispatch.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: MD80S ACFT IN CRUISE AND ON J-181 CROSSED NEOSHO, MO, AND FLEW THE 042 DEG RADIAL OUTBOUND AS DEPICTED ON HI ALT CHART 2. HOWEVER, ON THE BOTTOM OF HI ALT CHART 1 THE COURSE IS SHOWN AS 032 DEGS. ATC CONTACTED FLC ADVISING THEM THAT THEY WERE 20 MI OFF COURSE WHEN 100 MI NE OF EOS.
Narrative: LOCATION: EOS VOR OUTBOUND ON J-181. ON FLT X, SEP/XX/97, FROM DFW TO ORD WE WERE OUTBOUND J-181 FROM NEOSHO TO BRADFORD WHEN ZKC CALLED AND ASKED US IF WE WERE GOING DIRECT TO BDF. CTR SHOWED US 20 NM OFF THE AIRWAY TO THE E. WE DIALED IN BDF AND CONCURRED WITH CTR. WE CORRECTED BACK ON COURSE. LOOKING AT THE HI 1-2 CHART EFFECTIVE SEP/YY/97, WE DISCOVERED THAT ONE SIDE OF THE CHART SHOWED A 042 DEG RADIAL FOR J-181 OUT OF NEOSHO VOR AND THE OTHER SIDE SHOWED 032 DEG RADIAL FOR J-181 OUT OF NEOSHO. THIS IS AN ERROR ON THE COMMERCIAL CHART WHICH CAUSED A 20 NM ERROR WHEN DISCOVERED 100 NM OUT THE 042 DEG RADIAL OF NEOSHO. CTR WAS ADVISED OF THE CHART ERROR AND SO WAS COMPANY DISPATCH.
