Township Maps
A graphical representation of the township patent map and 1876 map shows the angles of section lines only as right angles. The land patent map and the 1876 map both are indexed geographically and alphabetically (and will be included with the census and cemeteries in a comprehensive Kirkland Index.) The geographical index shows names, identifies farm locations, and the date of the original land patent.- Patent Map

Edited Census
To correct spelling to current usage, the edited census for Kirkland Township compares Land Patents, Plat Maps, County Histories, newspaper obituaries, cemetery records, and earlier or later census records using microfilm and two online offerings of the census. If a name is not legible or still not identified, these cases not yet deciphered are recorded as jumbled letters as interpreted.- 1850 Census - Complete, Page 1, Page 2, Page 3, Page 4, Page 5

Cemeteries
The four cemeteries located in Kirkland Township, Adams County, Indiana are:- Pleasant Dale Cemetery (once known as the Steele Cemetery)
- Shady Cemetery
- St. Luke's Cemetery
- Zion Cemetery (earlier known as Cline Cemetery and one reference found naming it Pine Cemetery)
All four cemeteries are now presented in multiple formats. The most complete format includes inscriptions, gravestone descriptions, newspaper obituary notices, gravestone photos, cross references between related burials, and a linked alphabetical index. There is a chronological list of deaths to trace the growth of each cemetery and a simple geographical list of inscriptions for a quick survey of names by location (by row and lot).
