FYI - Just noticed this on the FAA website. It's the minimum vectoring and minimum IFR altitude charts (in pdf files). I wasn't aware the FAA was publishing this info, but here it is. For all I know, this might be old news to POA members but it's news to me. Not that I can use them for navigation, but interesting information none the less.

Could be useful info to know what you're going to get in certain areas if you ask for min vectoring altitude.
 
Only of marginal use as they stand. They seem to be some plot that was derived from the radar maps. It doesn't tell you where plot is centered nor the range though in some you might be able to intuit that information.

In map-speak: they are useless because they are not geo-referenced.
 
they show it on the digital LIDO charts..is neat to see the boxes published
