Make the video full screen and pause it when you get to a view you like. Then do a “print screen” (PRTSC) and paste it into Paint or another graphics or photo program. A film editing program can also generate still shots.

They should have all of the information that you desire. Best of luck , check it out.

Use the measuring tool on a top down view to get widths and distances. Resolution isn’t fine enough to measure to the inch, but you can get close.
Secondly, do a Google search for “Marinette County, WI GIS”. Many Wisconsin counties have a free on-line Geographic Information Systems (GIS) map. Some of these have contour lines that show the elevation of the ground so you can get vertical drop for the water and shorelines. Some of their aerial photography is better than on Google Earth. (You’ll have to turn on the layers with the information you want, like contours, aerial photos, etc. Each county is different, so I can’t guarantee what Marinette County will have on its interactive map.)
