ENTS- Black maple is fairly frequent in N Ohio, and it generally does have darker bark with plate-like ridges, but the leaves are quite distinct from sugar maple--usually tending to being larger, three-lobed, and much thicker textured, and most importantly have a flagging appearance on the tree, like paw-paw. It is also more of a bottom land species.
