I'd also drump the configs of the systems so that there is some
documentation of all the technical bits that people can refer to. Use
tools like ADMAP, GPMC for AD etc. For the cisco gear just grabbing
the config files should be good. That technical detail along with a
simply written explanation document should be a good start for whoever
takes over. Don't over commit yourself on the documentation when
leaving as I am sure that if you are the only tech there there will be
a lot of little things you'll end up doing to clear your plate before
you leave.

If they don't have any documentation currently then clear, simple and
concise documents along the lines of what Al mentioned will be a great
start for them.
