Narrative:

There is no airport diagram showing the taxiways for mto; contained in the airport facility directory for east central us; effective 12 march 2009. The runways are close and intersecting; and long enough that you cannot see from the FBO to the ends of the runways. For someone new to the airport; navigation on airport taxiways is confusing. Recently; taxiway C was closed; which compounded the complexity of navigating to runway 6 (or any of the runways) from the FBO area. Fortunately someone familiar with the airport was on unicom and was able to direct us to the appropriate taxiways for departure. The lack of an airport diagram for this airport with an ILS has the potential to create serious runway incursions or accidents. Night or IMC conditions could make the situation even more serious.
