Would anyone know whether this feature still exists? It's mentioned often in accounts of Third Ypres. Google Maps does not seem to suggest that a stream of any kind is there today.

Yes, it’s still there.

Just to add something to Gareth's top cartography have a glance at this thread. Not conclusive I admit.

It is there of course. It is a beek, which usually means it is not wider than 1 to 2 metres. Of course, after the British artillery fire completely destroyed the area in 1917 and its drainage system, it became a marshland many metres wide, just as any other small brook in Flanders.
