Airspace Structure
Aircraft X handed off on a 110 heading. I assumed he was climbing high and climbed him to 140; pilot corrected me and said he was landing at ZZZ. My heading for ZZZ approaches for sector is 140 for a downwind leg so I automatically issued the pilot a 140 heading. This heading took him into (on my map- as I pulled the map up in front of my supervisor) 5;700 foot MVA. I instantly turned the aircraft to lower terrain. The frequency congestion and having to say to things twice had me frustrated.
Tracon Controller reported issuing a vector into a higher MVA.
