Narrative:
During the taxi out for a 34R departure; we noticed a potential hazard to aircraft following the purple line. On the southwest corner of the C terminal; the purple line intersects taxiway cs. At this intersection; the purple line curves to the west to join cs; however; it does so around a right angle corner in the taxiway and it appears that the outboard main mount would be off the approved surface if one followed the purple line.
