The kanji 図 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字). The left side is the radical 囗 (くにがまえ), which represents an enclosure or a boundary, and the right side is the character 豆 (mame), which means "bean." The original meaning might have been related to a drawing or outline of a field, using the bean as a unit of measurement for field division or farmland. Over time, the meaning broadened to encompass drawings and diagrams in general.
