Ariogala (Eyrogola) Maps Sonia and David Hoffman Ariogala Region (this is a modern map and does not show all 18th - 19th century shtetls). Note the towns within 10 - 20 km (6 - 12 miles) of each other, were within a day's walk, or a few hours by coach or cart or by boat, and less by horseback. Any families living in Ariogala most likely had relatives who lived in the towns shown on this map. And if your family lived in nearby towns, they probably had relatives who lived in Ariogala and other nearby shtetls at one time or another.
