False.

The Underground Railroad was not a literal tunnel or railroad. It was a secret network of routes, safe houses ("stations"), and people ("conductors") that helped enslaved African Americans escape from slaveholding states to free states and to Canada. It operated across many Southern, Border, and Northern states—not just from Mississippi to Ohio.
