Check out this low level / MOA site http://www.seeandavoid.org/ You can click on Military Bases, Airports, MOA, Low level Routes, Near Misses and Collisions.
Move map around your soaring site, expand, tap on red line and see who controls it. Good stuff!

Interesting page. But, it seems to be missing an area of special importance to pilots flying west of Phoenix, a SATR, which is operational sometimes and sometimes not (very important to folks flying their gliders out of Pleasant Valley Airport (former home of Turf Soaring) and also all sorts of private aviation into and out of Deer Valley and Scottsdale. The See and Avoid page does list a "special use airspace A231" which seems to cover a lot of the same area, but with different times, altitudes, and reporting frequency. Interestingly, that airspace is not evren listed on the SUA web page map (http://sua.faa.gov/sua/siteFrame.app) Congress must have a finger into this if it's this muddled up.
