What Wikipedia says

Lake Missoula was a prehistoric proglacial lake in western Montana that existed periodically at the end of the last ice age between 15,000 and 13,000 years ago. The lake measured about 3,000 square miles (7,770 km2) and contained about 500 cubic miles (2,100 km3) of water, half the volume of Lake Michigan.
