The MEA from Monroe to which two locations is 5000 feet?

Minimum Enroute Altitude is the lowest altitude you can fly on a given route segment that still guarantees obstacle clearance and reliable navigation reception. For the leg from Monroe toward certain fixes, the terrain and obstacle layout require a higher altitude, so the published MEA on those segments is 5000 feet. That same 5000-foot minimum applies to the leg from Monroe to Hater and to the leg from Monroe to Dorts, which is why those two destinations are identified as having an MEA of 5000 feet. The MEA is specific to each segment between fixes, so other legs (to Magnolia, for example) have different published MEAs. Remember you must remain at or above the MEA on each segment until you reach the next fix, at which point you may descend to the MEA of the next segment if needed.
