The highest filling of Lake Missoula was around 4200 feet MSL. I guess you would need some tool that allows access to the digital relief data in GE. An overlay of Lake Missoula at its deepest would be a great addition.

The wavelenght of the ripples is determined by the velocity of the water. Such large ripples will need very strong flow not compatible with occurring during lake formation. But their preservation would suggest an abrupt end to the process via short term lake formation. I wonder if the ripples are mantled by a lake sediment layer.
