My answer will be biased by the fact that I don't prescribe to the notion that there are boundaries between forms of triangulum... rather that the subspecific monikers are holotypically derived snapshots of variation across a large range. The holotypes of many subspecies don't look at all like some of the populations located intermediate to the next subspecific holotype.
That being said I usually refer casually to the milksnakes around Sanderson as celaenops but it's out of habit and tradition... they certainly don't look at all like the "celaenops" I see in New Mexico and for the most part are still very different from the big classic bombers from Freer.
Just call 'em triangulum and you'll be good
