The range of silver maple extends from New Brunswick to west to northern Michigan, northern Wisconsin and northern Minnesota; south to
southeastern South Dakota and eastern Oklahoma; east to northern Georgia; and north through western South Carolina and western North
Carolina to Maine.
It is found in northwestern Florida on the Apalachicola and Choctawhatchee rivers but is not otherwise found on the Gulf or Atlantic Coastal Plain [37].

Bigtooth maple has a spotty distribution, occurring in mountainous areas from southeastern Idaho and western Wyoming south to Arizona, New
Mexico, western Texas, and northern Mexico [38,39].
It is most common along a north-south axis from southeastern Idaho to central Utah, where it may form nearly solid stands.
Farther south, bigtooth maple occurs as isolated populations in numerous isolated mountain ranges.

Bigleaf maple occurs in the Pacific Coast region from just south of the Alaska Panhandle in British Columbia south through the western portions of Washington and Oregon to southern California [20].
It is generally restricted to the west side of the Sierra Nevada-Cascade crest [28]. Bigleaf maple's northern distribution is apparently restricted by cold temperatures.
Its southern and interior distribution seems restricted by insufficient moisture and humidity [20,30].
At the southern end of its range, bigleaf maple is usually restricted to canyons or riparian habitats [11,28].

Red maple is one of the most widely distributed trees in eastern North America [97].
Its range extends from Newfoundland and Nova Scotia west to southern Ontario, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois; south through
Missouri, eastern Oklahoma, and southern Texas; and east to southern Florida [64].
It is conspicuously absent from the bottomland forests of the Corn Belt in the Prairie Peninsula of the Midwest, the coastal prairies of southern Louisiana and southeastern Texas, and the swamp
prairie of the Florida everglades [97].
It is cultivated in Hawaii [102].

Sugar maple grows from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick westward to Ontario and Manitoba, southward through Minnesota, and eastern Kansas into northeastern Texas [46].
It extends eastward to Georgia and northward
through the Appalachian Mountains into New England [46,68].
Local populations occur in northwestern South Carolina, northern Georgia, and northeastern South Dakota [46].
Disjunct populations are known from the Wichita Mountains of southwestern Oklahoma [16].
