Narrative:
After receiving taxi clearance from enan tower; the crew reviewed the taxi diagram and noted taxiway D4 is located at the end of runway 32; the taxi diagram shows D4 connected to the end of runway 32. Due to the nature of the short taxi; the crew was task saturated with running the checklist and with the radios; we did not see the fainted taxiway markings for intersection D4; which was wrongly depicted on the taxi diagram. The aircraft overshot taxi way D4; abeam the beginning of the displaced threshold of runway 32. The aircraft was stopped and the crew asked ATC for assistance. ATC suggested we continue onto a possible roadway beyond taxiway delta; it looked like an uncharted area with no taxiway markings. Given the current options; it was decided the only course of action was to use reverse thrust to gently push the aircraft back with the help of ATC and ground crew. Flight departed thereafter. [Suggest] correcting the taxi diagrams and better situational awareness of the crew after a long duty period.
