There is a Unix tool that will do this called tree. This tool will output the directory tree structure of a given folder. It is a command line tool which means that you will have to use the terminal to get your results. Typing tree -d ~ will, for example, output the tree structure of you home directory.

Although it is not included by default on MacOS you can install it yourself. You can download and compile the source on their homepage (link) or use a package manager like HomeBrew to install it (brew install tree).
