The easiest explanation for us, is where we live. In order to get title for the land so many trees had to be planted and maintained for x number of years.
Most families, neighbors and kin came this way in numbers and settled surrounding sections when the territories opened...Many lied about their age, creating more land for immediate family, neighbors and kin. Saplings were obtained and it stands to reason the saplings or acorns in this case, sent west had the same markers.
As far as following the same compass heading...If I were you I'd disregard all Younger trees and focus on the oldest and most similar in size. If you need wood, cut a couple down that appear to be the same age and size and date them. Then use that wood for heat or building. Keep a couple samples. Then you will know if they lead somewhere.
Keep in mind, squirrels, birds, mice and other animals carrying acorns to nests, dropping some and other animals stealing their stash and carrying those off too. They easily can end up farther apart. When those trees start producing, more acorns carried off even farther.
Are you in hilly areas with a lot of draws?
