Identify this maple

Hi can anyone identify this maple leaf, or even confirm that it is a maple)? It is from a tree growing not far from a creek on a trail in Santa Barbara. Elevation 900 ft. There are just a few of these tress in an area with mostly sycamores.
I think it looks similar to Acer macrophyllum, but the leaves are only about six inches across.
Thanks
Stephen
