I live on Lake Pend Oreille. It was also created by flooding: from the local hills you can see the spot in the mountains where Lake Missoula was apparently dammed during the last Ice Age. The flood that resulted when that broke carved out much of the lake and is responsible for the boring landscape of most of Washington state: it's just a series of shallow hills (mounds would be more accurate). You can see the flat horizon in all directions, and it is agonizingly dull to drive through for hours and hours.
Apparently it looks like the ripples of a streambed from the air.
