If you have some pennies to spend, you can buy the Resource Kit which includes LANsurveyor:

That draws up a Visio diagram for you.

How do you want to represent it? Logically? Physically? Active directory trees?

Also the above product "LANsurveyor" requires every network device to be SNMP compliant and to be using the same community string but it will also perform with basic functionality using just DNS resolution, so you could end up doing more work than if you were to diagram it yourself.
