While taxiing southeast on Taxiway 'A;' a C210 pilot failed to hold short at Taxiway 'B' at KMKL as cleared by Ground Control. A contributing factor was the fact that 'B' intersects 'A' a two points and only the point further from the point the clearance was received is marked.

Narrative

I was taxiing southwest on Taxiway A when Jackson Ground told me to hold short of Runway 20 at Taxiway B. I could see a Taxiway B sign ahead; so I proceeded toward it. A moment later; Jackson Ground said I had missed my turn.I took another look at the airport diagram and realized that Taxiway B intersects Taxiway A in two places. The B sign I had seen was at the second intersection. Apparently; Ground intended for me to stop at the first intersection. There was no B sign northeast of the first intersection.I think the best way to prevent a recurrence would be to rename half of Taxiway B. That way there would only be one intersection of taxiways A and B. Also; there should be a taxiway sign at the northeastern-most intersection of A and B visible to aircraft approaching from the northeast on A. In the meantime; whenever Ground Controllers refer to an intersection of taxiways A and B; they should inform pilots that there are two such intersections and specify which one they are talking about.
