I have an interesting document published by the National Park Service, 1995
entitled
"Underground Railroad: Special Resource Study, Management
Concepts/Environmental Assessment", USGPO (842-818). In 1990 Congress
directed the Nat'l Park Service to study how to best interpret and
commemorate the UGRR, emphasizing routes taken.

This study has fold-out maps that show documented routes in all states.
There is also an appendix which lists UGRR sites, parks, museums, activities
etc. in each state (not claimed to be complete); plus a preliminary list of
380 sites & structures associated with the UGRR in all states. Lists
addresses, dates, significance...

There is a woman here in the Capital District who was a consultant to the
project. She has given several talks about local UGRR involvement. I can
look up her name, if anyone is interested.
