Narrative:

After pushing we were cleared to runway 30L via taxiway D and taxiway a. As we started east on taxiway D; we were reclred taxiway C6; taxiway C; taxiway a to runway 30L. After looking at the airport diagram it looked like after the right on taxiway C6; taxiway C would be the next left. That isn't the case though. The commercial airport chart diagram is wrong. Taxiway C does not continue east from taxiway C5. Commercial chart shows it going east all the way to runway 30R; but it doesn't. There isn't anything but grass between taxiway D and the cross runway (I think it's runway 6/24) east of taxiway C5. So; as I approached my first left on taxiway C6; I saw it was a runway and not taxiway C. I stopped but had already crossed the hold short line. Ground had us turn left on the runway; taxi east then back south to taxiway C; taxiway a to runway 30L. The runway was not being used for takeoffs or landing.
