It doesn't matter if a "depiction" can be found on the web. It probably
carries a "NOT FOR NAVIGATIONAL USE" notice.
If I am at an airport preparing for a flight through that airspace, I
most likely do not have access to a computer with a color printer that
is capable of accurately reproducing the chart to scale so that it can
be used for navigational purposes.
If I call Flight Service on the telephone, I will be read the NOTAM
text, not an accurate pictoral depiction.
If I have received the briefing from the FSS specialist, it is
considered that I am fully informed, when in fact I have only a fuzzy
notion of the actual boundaries.
Also consider that because of the irregularity of the airspace
boundaries, I may be able to "draw" the boundaries, given lat/lon
coordinates to create waypoints, on my VFR only, handheld GPS. Is this
acceptable for navigation? Maybe
Does the FAA consider this "official"? Probably not.
So, if they are not willing to chart the boundaries on the offical,
government produced charts, issued every six months, how are we
expected to know, in the cockpit, flying along looking for ground
references, where the boundaries are?


Nevertheless, AeroPlanner's online charts do show it.

When did AeroPlanner become a source of official information?

It hasn't, nor is it likely to become one. Were you trying to make a point?
