Funny you say maple, because I did come accross pictures in my tree ID book that looked really close to this, it was Red Maple.
Online Description of Bark:
The mature bark of Red Maple displays great variation in the wild. In terms of texture, it may be lightly fissured, platy, or shaggy, with the color of its outer plates composed of gray, silver, brown, and black shades. Its inner bark may be tinted with orange hues. Many of the landscape cultivars of Red Maple have smooth, silvery-gray trunks, but wild forms often have darker and rougher barks
