This sounds like a physical topology, though us network admins don't use this terminology in our day-to-day. I usually call it a physical map.

Logical topology drawings contain less-than-exact physical mappings but precise IP and routing protocol information for the internal network. Cable paths are physical maps for major cable runs between patch panels, data centers, core network devices, etc. Wiring grids are usually electrical diagrams, and network admins are usually only interested in locations of major sources of EMI (electro-magnetic interference.) Access topologies are physical and logical of all entry points into your network, including provider MPOEs (major points of entry), location/equipage of COs (central offices), etc.
