The question comes up after looking at the Great Falls sectional where the Blue Vignette comes into play. Before it seemed obvious that Class G existed outside the blue vignette up to 14500 but if Class E exists everywhere starting at 1200 AGL how can this be?

Set me straight. Thanks
"Unless otherwise depicted" refers to areas marked in a blue, zigzag line with the appropriate altitudes indicated in MSL. Several good examples are on the Great Falls sectional, southeast of Couer D'Alene, ID (KCOE). They are marked 6000 MSL, 7000 MSL, and 8500 MSL. Take a look at the legend, they are depicted there also.
