I am not a cartographer, and nor are you by the sounds of it.
So I am assuming the map is part of a report, and not for use on the ground.
As a draughtsman and naturalist, I would just get the scale reasonable (or exact if you have a map you can trace from), include just the major features (the main road, river etc.).
Then include the information you want to give.
Your scale will limit the detail, so if it's individually marked trees better to outline areas than get really small. Or only include important detail.
If this is intended to help researchers find things in the field, buy an ordinance survey map for the area (in softcopy) and use suitable (I use AutoCAD) program to draw on your features - it's best not to muck around with real maps when dealing with uninhabited areas.
