The main river of the district is the Songkhram River. The Phu Wua Wildlife Sanctuary is located in the district.
The minor district Seka was established on November 16 1958, when the five subdistrict Seka, Dong Bang, Sang, Pho Mak Khaeng and Tha Kok Daeng were split off from Bueng Kan district.[1] The following year it was upgraded to a full district.[2]
The district is subdivided into 9 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 131 villages (muban). There are two subdistrict municipalities (thesaban tambon) - Si Phana covers parts of tambon Seka, and Tha Sa-at covers parts of the same-named tambon. There are further 9 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
