It seems to me the best approach would be to set up a simple spreadsheet 
with columns such as:

Distance
Angle
X-coord
Y-coord

and with proper attention to the formulae, you would quickly end up with 
a list of sets of coordinates which you would then plot.  I don't see 
any aids in Inkscape to do this and attempting to draw the coords from 
the little numbers at the bottom of the GUI that run with the cursor 
position would be more hit than miss.

Inkscape would give a great map when complete - you could add features 
to it at will - but I think it needs a separate bit of number crunching 
first.  There is a fantastic range of land and land-use clip art at:

and they are all vector format!  You must have a look at that site.

Please let us know whet you end up doing.

Regards

Adam
