Narrative:

After landing and rollout on runway 3 I was directed by control to exit right on taxiway A2. After making the right onto A2 I was told I was on a runway (11L) and was directed to taxiway D and to contact ground control. Contrary to the airport diagram there is a taxiway A2; with signage; accessible from runway 3 to the right. This is not shown on the airport diagram at no time did I cross a runway line. Perhaps the controller; who was holding a takeoff on runway 21; should have directed me to exit right onto taxiway A3. Tucson international (tus) is a training site for controllers. At no time was there a conflict with any other aircraft.callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated he has flown into this airport for many years and feels that an error or misunderstanding caused the controller to state that a runway incursion occurred after the pilot turned right onto taxiway A2. The reporter is confident that runway 11L/29R does not extend all of the way to runway 3/21 because the FAA chart that he uses is a light shaded color between runway 3/21 and the end of runway 11L/29R; not a solid black line used to depict the runway.
