Likely sugar maple, but an almost identical maple is black maple in So. Mi. Black maple is more in the bottom lands of rivers where it is moister.

Is this in an urban area? I highly suspect that to be Norway maple (Acer platanoides). the very long stems are a giveaway. Break the leaf stem and if its white/milky its a norway.
kill it. no mercy if so. displacing Sugar maples aggressively. I see it all the time now in Vermont. escaping yards and parks and headed into the woods.

Pretty sure that is Sugar maple. The two parallel sides on the longest frond of the leaf is the tell tale. WDH taught me that about 3 years ago.
