The Maida–Windygates Border Crossing connects the cities of Langdon, North Dakota and Morden, Manitoba on the Canada–US border. It is connected by North Dakota Highway 1 on the American side and Manitoba Highway 31 on the Canadian side.

The US border station of Maida, which was built in 1961, was replaced in 2012.[1] The construction of this replacement border station required a local bar in Maida named Jacks Bar to be torn down.[2] Now the once booming town, originally established in 1884,[3] sits empty with only one resident.

The Windygates border station was built in 1963, and is slated to be replaced in 2017.[4]
