"If you are going northeast of ZEDAG, you must be at 4300 feet to remain safe!"
Interesting to note on the chart that the profile view indicates a 5nm holding pattern at an altitude of 4300'. The plan view however indicates that 4300' in that area northeast of ZEDAG is good out to 4nm only. Beyond that in that direction the plan view says 6300'. Yes that is for straight in and no procedure turn but that is the type of information that would be a strong cue to me that there is likely rapidly rising terrain in the vicinity and that any altitudes provided by ATC less than depicted would warrant a query to verify that ATC will be providing terrain separation at all times.
