Narrative:
After landing on runway 04 in night VFR conditions at lga with an MEL for taxi light inop; we were cleared to eventually taxi via bravo to lane 9 to enter ramp. As we approached lane 8; there was an aircraft among a line of aircraft departing on [runway] 31 with it's tail protruding onto bravo enough to make us stop on bravo. After a few minutes wait; the captain decided he might be able to taxi around the tail of the aircraft by using part of lima. After attempting to do this; we saw that there was not enough room to get back on to bravo after the aircraft tail; and we were now forced to turn right at lima on to the ramp. The taxi light being inoperative; we could not see that in making this turn not only put us on to the ramp early; but it also forced us to taxi across the painted 'island' that physically exists; but is not depicted on the jeppesen 10-9B chart. The combination of no taxi light and an improperly marked reference chart; caused us to taxi over the painted 'island'; which after we had done so; was chastised for by the ramp controller as he also 'reminded' us that we had been cleared to enter at lane 9 vice 8. Fortunately; the scolding was all we received and the rest of the taxiing went uneventfully.
