Narrative:
Aircraft X was being worked by ZAB sector 17 at 110. On the common border with ZDV sector 36 and ZAB 17; the mia increases to 120. Prior to accepting the hand off on aircraft X; I asked ZAB 17 if they planned on climbing aircraft X due to the 120 mia. They stated that they were unaware of the 120 terrain. I then instructed ZAB 17 to climb aircraft X to 120. ZAB maps need to be updated showing mia's 15-20 inside of ZDV's airspace.
