Balangao is bounded in the east by Banawel, north by Poblacion (Gawa), west by Butac, and south by Ifugao. The interior of the Barangay is two main streams called Lanah and Manhafar. Balangao is the location of the former airstrip in Fe-eg where the five-seater SIL Plane, (“Spirit of St. Louis”) usually landed. It brought people from the outside world to this remote place and vice versa.

Barangay Balangao has the following sitios: Aliawan (Tagaytay and Sunnyside), Chupapa (Tenaro and Apapawan), Chaap, (Chaap and Poka), Natnat (New Orleans and Teechan).

In 2009, The MGB declared Chupapa down to Natnat as a hazardous sinking area. The DSWD with the joint efforts of the BLGU and LGU upshot on the relocation of the affected families. Currently, these are 56 houses constructed at Manhafar, being the core shelter. (Source: Barangay Balangao Profile by Julio N. Lumines – Barangay IPMR).
