PRATTSBURG - page 462
"Is centrally situated upon the northern border of the county. It is bounded north by Naples, in Ontario county and Italy in Yates county, east by Pulteney, south by Wheeler and Urbana, and west by Cohocton. The surface of the town is a hilly upland, broken by the valleys of several small streams, flowing in a southwesterly direction. The principal streams are Five Mile, Ten Mile and Twelve Mile creeks. The valley at Prattsburg village is 1,400 feet above tide, and the hills are from three to four hundred feet higher. The soil is gravelly and clayey loam, adapted to pasturage and to the growth of cereals, fruit and vegetables. The population of Prattsburg in 1890 was 2,173."
