This Planimetric Map is a map that only shows the horizontal lines and is focussed on Iraq, although it does show parts of Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Syria.  This map is used by the United States government and is highly acurate.  The conformality of the nations on this map appear to be fairly acurate since the shape of each, atleast by the naked eye, looks correct.
