Narrative:
Landed on runway 26L. Told to turn off on nf; right on na; left on nr; hold short of wb and could not find border of wb and taxied past distance unknown. If you look at the taxi diagram; you will see that is very poor in that area. The ground markings are even worse. I think that changes should be made.
