Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway Delaware Chapter 1.0 Introduction to the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway (HTURB) Corridor Management Plan (CMP) The Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway (HTURB) Corridor Management Plan (CMP) is intended to provide a collection of information that will assist in the preservation, promotion, interpretation, enhancement, and management of the intrinsic resources found throughout the HTURB corridor. This CMP will attempt to foster economic development, continued research, and set a clear course for future actions (projects) within the HTURB communities. This CMP is an extension of the people – the people of the HTURB. The diverse goals and wishes of the many communities along the corridor have been assembled and unified in this CMP, to give a common voice that will be heard and understood for years to come. Throughout the CMP are brown text-boxes (see National Scenic Byway CMP Point #1 below) that call-out the section of the CMP that addresses one of the 17 points or criteria required by the National Scenic Byways Program (NSBP) for a CMP to be eligible for All-American Road (AAR) – the intent of this CMP (see Section 1.3 for more details). 1.1 Corridor Limits The HTURB corridor is approximately 98 miles in length travelling through the State of Delaware. For the purpose of this CMP the corridor is divided into four (4) main segments and travels from Sandtown (where it meets the terminus of the Maryland Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Scenic Byway) in the southwestern part of Delaware, north to Wilmington, and beyond to the Delaware/Pennsylvania border. The corridor passes through the communities of Sandtown, Camden, Dover, Smyrna, Clayton, Townsend, Middletown, Odessa, Port Penn, Delaware City, New Castle, Wilmington and Centerville. The corridor limits are displayed on Figure 1. National Scenic Byway CMP Point #1 A map identifying the corridor boundaries, location, intrinsic qualities and land uses in the corridor. The corridor has been divided into four (4) main segments in an effort to make the mapping and narrative sections of this CMP more manageable and detailed. The individual segment maps are displayed in Figures 2 through 5. The maps/figures provide a detailed perspective of the corridor as it travels through the State of Delaware.
