Narrative:

Cleared to taxi to runway 7L via txwys B5, B, C, hold short runway 25R from terminal area. Upon reaching taxiway C, the taxiway was labeled 'D.' upon querying the controller, he said 'my mistake, now cross runway 25R hold short runway 1R,' which we did. Then we were instructed to cross runway 1R, runway 1L hold short runway 7L. After crossing runway 1R, I realized runway 1L did not even intersect our taxiway. Now I was looking for a hold short line for runway 7L when tower asked us if we were on runway 7L. We weren't sure so I did a 180 degree turn and told tower there was no hold short line. Looking at the chart, taxiway C is now actually taxiway D. No NOTAMS published. There is pavement beyond the end of runway 25R near the takeoff point of runway 7L that is not runway. That is where we taxied. We never were on the runway. The taxiway D actually extends around the end of the runway. That area is very confusing. Recommend the chart be updated and a hold short line be installed on taxiway D intersecting the west end of runway 7L.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: RPTR CLAIMS THAT THE ARPT CHART DEPICTING TXWYS D AND C MARKINGS ARE INCORRECT FOR ACTUAL MARKINGS ON THE ARPT. RPTR ALLEGES THERE IS NO HOLD LINE FOR RWY 7L BTWN RWY 1R AND RWY 7L APCH END.

Narrative: CLRED TO TAXI TO RWY 7L VIA TXWYS B5, B, C, HOLD SHORT RWY 25R FROM TERMINAL AREA. UPON REACHING TXWY C, THE TXWY WAS LABELED 'D.' UPON QUERYING THE CTLR, HE SAID 'MY MISTAKE, NOW CROSS RWY 25R HOLD SHORT RWY 1R,' WHICH WE DID. THEN WE WERE INSTRUCTED TO CROSS RWY 1R, RWY 1L HOLD SHORT RWY 7L. AFTER XING RWY 1R, I REALIZED RWY 1L DID NOT EVEN INTERSECT OUR TXWY. NOW I WAS LOOKING FOR A HOLD SHORT LINE FOR RWY 7L WHEN TWR ASKED US IF WE WERE ON RWY 7L. WE WEREN'T SURE SO I DID A 180 DEG TURN AND TOLD TWR THERE WAS NO HOLD SHORT LINE. LOOKING AT THE CHART, TXWY C IS NOW ACTUALLY TXWY D. NO NOTAMS PUBLISHED. THERE IS PAVEMENT BEYOND THE END OF RWY 25R NEAR THE TKOF POINT OF RWY 7L THAT IS NOT RWY. THAT IS WHERE WE TAXIED. WE NEVER WERE ON THE RWY. THE TXWY D ACTUALLY EXTENDS AROUND THE END OF THE RWY. THAT AREA IS VERY CONFUSING. RECOMMEND THE CHART BE UPDATED AND A HOLD SHORT LINE BE INSTALLED ON TXWY D INTERSECTING THE W END OF RWY 7L.
