Narrative:

En route mina VOR to sac. Using a san francisco sectional, mar/xd/01, 66TH edition. This map doesn't show any class D airspace around the airport, and no ceiling at mhr. I called sac 20 mi out. They said to call back 10 mi out. I came close to another aircraft that was probably entering left downwind at mhr. I didn't catch mhr control tower, when I didn't see dash line I assumed it was non operating control tower. Will you notify the DOT on the error on the map? Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: an mhr tower specialist stated the tower has been in operation for approximately 1 yr. In jul/01 the tower's class D classification went into effect.
