Not a map but a graph. The Inglehart-Welzel cultural map of the world:
On the y-axis, traditional values emphasize the importance of religion, parent-child relationships, and authority, according to WVS. People who embrace these tend to reject divorce, abortion, euthanasia, and suicide. These societies usually exhibit high levels of nationalism and national pride, too. In the U.S., these values would likely align more with conservative ideologies. Oppositely, secular-rational values represent the other extreme and tend to relate to liberal ways of thinking.
On the x-axis, survival values revere economic and physical security and safety and are linked to low levels of trust and tolerance. On the other side, self-expression values give high priority to protecting the environment, promoting gender equality, and tolerating foreigners and gays and lesbians.

Very interesting I see a lot of truth. I don't see the US as being very traditonal on the East or West Coast. I wonder which societies most successfully blend traditional/survival values.

I think it's quite accurate in the context of the Western world but it's almost impossible for these maps to be accurate when taking into account several cultures
I'm not sure whether Iraq is as secular as the USA or Romania. It may be but it's hard to tell.
