A sudden thought...
Take a large piece of paper, and put the star in the middle, and then
draw rings
around it.  One ring for each planetary orbit, out to say 10-15.  Make
the rings
about 3/4 inch apart.  Then place planet counters on the orbit rings. 
The whole
map
would be about 23 inches across.

This is highly abstracted, but would be a workable one map solution...

With little tic marks around each circle indicating orbit distance
traveled in,
say,
a month, lots of tics on the outer rings, fewer and fewer as you move
inward
indicating
the faster moving inner orbits...

You've seen BattleFleet Mars, then? ;->= However, they used a measure
stick for
actual movement, and given the already mentioned vastly different
distances
between
inner, iron planets and outer, gas ones, not terribly realistic.
