Jim,

Some additional information regarding the Underground Railroad in NYS
and elsewhere (with links to maps, I believe) can be found at Anthony
Cohen's site "The Walk to Canada:  Tracing the Underground Railroad" at:

http://www.ugrr.org

Cohen is an historian and author who has traced much of the UGRR on foot
over the course of the past several years.  His site has links to other
resources, including Wilbur Siebert's Directory of UGRR operators
(c.1892).  You might also try:

Hope this helps.
