The Opheim–West Poplar River Border Crossing connects the town of Opheim, Montana with Rockglen, Saskatchewan on the Canada–United States border. The town of Opheim (10 miles south of the border) was named after Alfred S. Opheim, an early settler whose wife was the town's first postmistress. In 1960, the town had 457 residents, but by 2010, the population had dwindled to 85. In 2004, the US replaced its small border station with a large facility. Canada replaced its border station at West Poplar River in 2015.
