Blue Wing Flat is a playa located south of Trego.[1] There is some confusion about the name as there is also a small, unnamed playa to the west of the Blue Wing Mountains. This unnamed playa is not Blue Wing Flat. Blue Wing Flat is also known as Adobe Flat.

Carlson states that Adobe Flat is west of the Trinity Range. Adobe Flat is at the north end of Granite Springs Valley.

Bancroft (1890) lists Adobe as one of the towns and settlements in Humboldt County (Humboldt County was later divided in to two portions, with the southern portion becoming Pershing County.)[2] However, Basso states that Adobe was near the Humboldt River at the Thackers Ranch.[3]
