How to find the range of a contour along each dimension of a plane with least possible error?

I have a matrix of data which I plotted as a contour using the contour function. The y-axis of the plot is taken as log of the variable, i.e. I used:
contour(x,log2(y),Data,[-99,1],'k');
The resulting plot has an irregular shape. By "irregular" I mean that it's not a nice smooth elliptical or rectangular shape, it's quite jagged at places and not evenly spread everywhere. I am posting one such plot below.
Here, I want to find out the left most point and the right most point of this contour to find the range along x-axis. Similarly, I want to find the bottom most point and the top most point of this contour to find the range along y-axis. Obviously for such shape, the x coordinates of the y_bottom and y_top will be different; y coordinates of the x_left and x_right will be different.
So, how do I find out the four points? One way is to do it by observation and select the points myself to note down the values, but there is a chance of error there. How to find it exactly with code?
Also I have another minor doubt: since I have used log2 of the y data, is there any way to minimize approximation error that I should be careful about?

C = contour(x,log2(y),Data,[-99,1],'k');
x = C(1,:) ;
y = C(2,:) ;
iwant = [min(x) min(y) ;
max(x) min(y) ;
max(x) max(y) ;
min(x) max(y)] ;

If you use https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/38863-extract-contour-data-from-contour-matrix-c then you would get out a struct array that has the per-contour information.
