Based on the vertical rise for every unit of horizontal distance traveled, Bell Hill is the steepest hill. Bell Hill rises 1 foot for every 3 feet of horizontal travel, compared to Liberty Hill which only rises 2 feet for every 1 foot of horizontal travel. This means that Bell Hill has a steeper incline and is therefore the steepest hill described in the table.
