Network documentation and diagraming tips?

I have never had to do this before outside of lab environments and I am relatively green at networking (I do have my CCNA). The whole IT team is new at my site and I seem to be the one with the most networking knowledge and am tasked with these things. I now have to document our physical environment in a server room that has had three previous engineers who did not document anything. Two firewalls (HA) and 8 switches with wires everywhere and nothing really labeled.

How the hell do I go about all of this? I have access to all the management consoles. What do I use to diagram? Are there any tips or tricks? What to consider? I guess just muscle through it and trace each wire?
