I have an enquiry from someone looking for a map of the underground
railroad in NYS. This person wants something showing the routes and
possibly sites of udg. rr locations. I know of no such map, but there may
be one, so does anyone know of a map?

Aside from the fact that many (the majority?) of the sites claimed to be
underground rr. places are probably mythical or family traditions about an
old root cellar, we do know that the railroad existed in NYS and perhaps
some historian/geographer has made a map showing the major routes. Anyone
know??

Thanks.
