The rangers wandered the rest of the Northern Dunedain did not. The lived at 'the angle of the mitheithel and bruinen [ I think I mistated one of the rivers earlier - anyway if you follow the river coming down out of Rivendell then when it joins the one coming from the last bridge you have it - the 'hidden fastnes' of the Dunedain].

MM addresses this wandering question rather fully in his article quoted above [ the second one].

btw MM evisions a Northern Dunedain population of 'thousands not hundreds', which too me seems very high, but he does put forth a rational argument concerning their absence from Bree and the Shire.
