Narrative:
Taxied from FBO as per instructions from ground control, 'turn left on taxiway Y for runway 18L.' looking ahead on taxiway Y, I could see taxiway Y turning to the right. While looking down at sectional map, my student crossed the hold line which I had not seen (student has about 19 hours). Taxiway Y is slightly lower than runway and from a C150, one cannot see end of runway. I assumed taxiway Y led to end of runway. First time at mem. The controller was watching us as we had only gone a few ft before we were instructed to make a 180 degree turn. No other traffic involved. No airport diagram onboard showing 'hold lines.' I was expecting further instructions once on taxiway Y. I was not carrying commercial charts on this student VFR cross country.
