If there is no bridge or ford, I would suggest that there is nothing that should be marked on the map. If the path crosses over the stream, it should be obvious that the stream has to be crossed, but that it is normally possible. I suppose you could tag the node shared by both with something that you feel reflects the situation, but I can't imagine what a renderer would do with it.
