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.

The drive East to Flathead Lake along 28 is interesting, very sandy washed out area in the vicinity of
47°49'15.60"N 114°25'4.40"W. It looks like a riverbed as though the last of the water drained out of the overflowing Lake.
