Default Why is the MEF so high here?

Hey guys, quick question on a particular MEF - Maximum Elevation Figure - that's particularly high from what I can derive but that's just my initial glance. The terrain doesn't seem to go up to which is close to the MEF so... Why is the R-2306B area quadrangle showing an MEF of 15,200MSL? Just to the southeast of Blythe (KBLH) if you're searching.

I'll try to include the screenshot as an attachment.

Thanks.

For the balloon in the southern portion.

I didn't realize the aerostats were still in the air. I will have to be more careful coming across.
