Hi,
This tree doesn't look anything like any maple I've seen. It's not a maple. The black spots look like a fungal issue. I'm at a loss here. I can't identify the tree which would help figure out what the problem is. Here is a link, scroll down and look at bacterial issues;
I'm sorry I'm not being very helpful. I have sent this question out to other MG's and maybe someone will have more information. You could send in a sample to the UMN Disease clinic ,'https://pdc.umn.edu/

Well, you taught me something. I'm not familiar with that tree but I see that it is on the DNR's list of "specially regulated" species.
