[6] Kamianets-Podilskyi Raion is located in the southernmost part of the Khmelnytskyi Oblast, corresponding to the modern-day boundaries of Podolia historical region.

To its west and south, the raion borders upon the Ternopil and Chernivtsi Oblasts, respectfully.

Consequently, raions were subdivided into councils, which were the prime level of administrative division in the country.

Each of the raion's urban localities administered their own councils, often containing a few other villages within its jurisdiction.

However, only a small amount of rural localities were organized into councils, which might also contain a few villages within its jurisdiction.
