I would like to create a (preferably conformal, but not necessary) curved grid like this:

Kind of like the lines on an athletics track, but a grid. How can I do this? Any program is fine.

You can also try Photoshop's warp tool to manipulate on what you're trying to achieve:

Looks like a candidate for Illustrator's Blend Tool:


Create blends

The Blend tool and Make Blend command let you create blends, which are
a series of intermediate objects and colors between two or more
selected objects.

Create a blend with the Blend tool


Select the Blend tool.
Do one of the following:


To blend in sequential order with no rotation, click anywhere on each object, but avoid anchor points.
To blend to a specific anchor point on an object, click the anchor
point with the Blend tool. When the pointer is over an anchor point,
the pointer changes from a white square to transparent with a black
dot in its center.
To blend open paths, select an endpoint on each path.

When you are finished adding objects to the blend, click the Blend tool again.


Create a blend with the Make Blend command


Select the objects you want to blend.
Choose Object > Blend > Make.



Here's what I made with the Blend Tool based off your image:



This will easily create the concentric dividers. You can then manually add in the radial dividers by hand if you require them.
