For governance purposes it is divided between the incorporated rural community of Kedgwick[5] and the Restigouche rural district,[6] both of which are members of the Restigouche Regional Service Commission.[7]
Before the 2023 governance reform, the parish was divided into four local service districts and part of another. Mann Mountain was opposite the mouth of the Matapedia River, with Flatlands straddling the eastern border; St. Jean Baptiste – Menneval, White's Brook were both along Route 17, nearer Kedgwick than Campbellton; the LSD of the parish of Eldon comprised the remainder of the parish.[8] In the reform, Kedgwick annexed the community of Wyers Brook, properties on either side of Route 17 south from Glenwood, and all of the parish to the west;[5] the remainder became part of the rural district.[6]
