Fair enough. Here's a quick attempt at a classification:

Skyscraper is taller than hill:
Florida
Illinois
Indiana
Louisiana
Ohio

Nearby homes, silos, etc:
Delaware
Iowa

Distant radio tower is taller than hill (likely missing a few):
Alabama
Kansas
Michigan
Minnesota
Mississippi
Missouri
Nebraska
North Dakota
Rhode Island
Wisconsin
