Southesk is a geographic parish in Northumberland County, New Brunswick, Canada.[4]
For governance purposes it is divided between the Indian reserve of Red Bank 4, the incorporated rural community of Miramichi River Valley,[5] and the Greater Miramichi rural district,[6] the last two of which are members of the Greater Miramichi Regional Service Commission.[7]
Prior to the 2023 governance reform, all of the parish outside the Indian reserve formed the local service district of the parish of South Esk.
