Before landing at Sacramento we were told to expect Gate X.  We briefed that we would taxi left on Y1 from C1 and then make a right into the angled gate; according to the taxi chart. After landing we taxied west on C1 and noticed a B737 that was parked just north of the Gate X jetway; according to the chart. As we made the left onto Y1 we saw that the correct entry to Gate X was from directly north of the gate; which is actually on the most northern part of the terminal. We had to cut across the RON parking spot 6 on our second attempt into the gate. When safely parked at Gate X we were facing due south; not southwest like the chart depicts. The SMF terminal chart appears to need an update.
Air Carrier Captain reported airport taxi chart does not agree with the current airport layout.
