When I look at /var/log/secure or run journalctl on my workstation, I

The workstation is on a LAN behind an EdgeRouter firewall.  No Internet-
accessible ports are forwarded to the workstation.  The LAN has a
variety of servers, NAS boxes, WiFi access points, WiFi-connected
laptops, etc.

A typical /var/log/secure entry looks like this:
Jan 30 12:43:50 redwood sshd[21228]: Invalid user jackiehulu from 124.204.36.138 port 37394 Jan 30 12:43:51 redwood sshd[21228]: Received disconnect from 124.204.36.138 port 37394:11: Bye Bye [preauth] Jan 30 12:43:51 redwood sshd[21228]: Disconnected from invalid user jackiehulu 124.204.36.138 port 37394 [preauth]

I'm assuming that something on the network has been compromised,
allowing SSH login attempts on the LAN.  Other than turning off
each server/AP/laptop/etc, one at a time, to find when the accesses
stop, is there any way to find out where the SSH attempt is coming from?

From the attacking IP address, unless you're in China, your computer must be internet accessible somehow. That's not an IP address on your LAN, right?
