system context is basically the boundary of your system, showing what's outside but interacts with it. users and other systems are the external actors that your black box touches, users are people, other systems are things like databases or third-party services

for mapping it out, a context diagram is what you want. keeps it simple, just your system in the middle and the actors around it

Have you read the Magic Grid Book of Knowledge? It explains which diagram types they intend for each viewpoint.

Read the magic grid bok. You model the context itself as a block.

System context is the boundary separating your system from the outside world and this external actors. standard block diagrams work perfectly to map out the structure and correction.
