GPS waypoints are where corresponding photos were taken (below).
The most obvious location of the Divide in Norcross is where Holcomb Bridge Road crosses the railroad.
The aerial photo indicates the ECD travels from the crossing, northward through Thrasher Park.

001 Looking NE along the Southern RR tracks and Norcross Station Café.
002 Looking NW along Park St. with the Park to the right.
003 Looking NE along the tracks with the Park to the left.

N, S, E, W, Old, New, Peachtree St., Lane, Rd. Place, you name it, has 90% of its length associated with the ECD!

...

004 Again looking NW along Park Dr. with a noticeable high point at N. Peachtree Rd..
005a Looking NE along N. Peachtree St. which appears to become the ECD going toward Duluth.
005b Looking SW along N. Peachtree St. at the Korean Church which appears to be near the Divide.

Finding the true path of the ECD through Norcross will take a more accurate survey.

...

006 Looking SE along Park Dr. toward the Korean Church and a high point.
007 Looking NW along Autry St.
008 Looking SE along Holcomb Bridge road at the railroad crossing rise.

The Divide appears to run behind the white house on Thrasher St. and along Spike St.
