This is called a conic projection map. They're best at showing limited East/West areas of the globe with minimal distortion over local areas. Hope this helps.

Answer:

Conic projection map

Step-by-step explanation:

Conic projection maps are those that result from placing a cone on the Earth and unwrapping it. These maps are good for projecting long east-west regions and small areas. However, they usually are not good at projecting large areas or the whole planet. This type of maps are commonly used in the United States to display regions or the whole country.
