If you are following a road or river or other feature on the ground
while flying VFR, and that feature runs north/south but often veers
off to one side or the other, are you expected to change your
altitude each time you move from a heading of 0-179 to 180-359 or
vice versa?


Why would you follow a road? If you want to follow a road, drive a
car.
Why would you follow a river, rivers end.
Why not fly the plane?



Because he doesn't fly.
