I'm going to watch these again soon. But I think it's safe to say that the ship isn't that far away. I'm going by the Aliens Director's Cut. Remember Newt's family drives to the ship. I doubt they would take children out that far away from the colony. Perhaps an hour or so out.
Also Ripley's goal in going was to wipe them out not bring them back. That's the only reason she agreed to go. And in the original Alien, she's the one that realizes that the message from the ship isn't an SOS message but a warning. She would be sure that no one runs into the Aliens again.
I like to believe that that crashed Alien ship is the only one. Before Prometheus that was my thought.
