It is possible, I suppose, you are asking from a lumberperspective. The problem here is one of board feet and quality. What makes that problem more of an issue is that silver maple is not a common commercial wood.

I am in 6th grade, and I recently went on a hike to the top of Mount Rose. It is definitionally grueling! As you head up, you see different layers. At the beginning you see hemlock, cedar, and lodgepole. The lodgepole starts vanishing as you go further up, with the cedar soon following suit. Halfway, the hemlock stops, and then you are only left with small white Bark Pine until the last few thousand feet. Then nothing can grow.

Why does a ficus tree wither and die after being taken care of correctly?
Ficus trees are very finicky... if you move them too much, they can die just from being moved. Usually they come back if you leave them still for a while, but some people move them around the room, and they usually react badly to that. Sounds crazy, maybe, but I've seen it happen with a lot of ficus trees.
Why does a tree in the path of sunlight create a shadow instead of the spreading around the tree?
Light travels in straight lines and therefore some will hit the tree. Where this happens a shadow (absence of light) is created behind the tree.
