The Divide precedes westward from the Monument
..
..
-
The ECD runs along the south edge of the
Mall
-
And along a knoll near the New City Hall
-
Veteran's Day
..

-
And then through Taylor Park.
-
Parking for the New City Hall behind the
park seems to have been cut right into the Divide.

-
The Divide continues on westward through
a cemetery (There are possibly 'hundreds' of cemeteries on the ECD.)
-
Cemeteries historically are located on
'high ground'. (A.K.A. 'boot hill').
-
The white house across the street appears
to be on the Divide.
The closed part of Peachtree Road
NW begins at the Southeastern Railway Museum south of Duluth runs one mile
NE.

The restored Duluth Depot at the Railway
Museum.
-
This road on the ECD is walkable, and the
pavement may be the oldest surviving of the original Peachtree
Road.
