History

A post office was established as Maple River Junction in 1877, and renamed Maple River in 1883; the post office remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1968.[2][3] The community took its name from a nearby stream lined with soft maple trees.[4]

gollark: Have you tried buying more glucose?
gollark: Hmm. Well. I wouldn't be very happy with that mind editing *either*, and that wouldn't make me not bored if approximately-me were put in a box/walked round a bit/whatever without somewhat intellectually engaging activities.
gollark: If I took your mindstate and swapped out stuff like "likes helping people" and "likes some type of art" for "enjoys murdering people for fun" and "regularly abducts and tortures people" would that be "you"?
gollark: If my values were randomly remapped so I'd be a better pet, it wouldn't meaningfully be "me".
