You are correct. Both outside layers are paper thin. Further, I
believe it is a mixture of Birch with Maple. Nicely sanded and look
great with slight imperfections on one side.
I bought a few sheets and now having trouble keeping the layers
(Formica+3/4"+3/4"+Formica) flat.

I have used two 4'X8' plywoods. The first two set (3/4"X27"X41") bow
in the center and cut another two set and STILL bows! So, I ended up
using the first two (bow) set. Sanded it down (That when I discovered,
the outer layers are paper thin). I still did not get 100% flatness,
but I guess it will do for now until I cut the hole to fit the
router's plate in a few more days (WIP).
In the end I spend more and have more headaches!

Well, that's why you're using plywood, but it still doesn't answer why
you're using the more expensive Maple-covered plywood. I was just curious
in case I missed something. BTW, MDF might solve your flatness problem.

Really, the wood isn't that bad. I think the problem may be he wants it
*perfectly* flat.
Question: Could laminate cause a sheet of plywood to twist?

My sheet appears to have 5 layers.
The outer two are about 1/8" thick each, with the middle three a bit
thicker.
Why would you use Maple plywood if you are covering it with Formica?

Would this be birch one side maple the other?
I went to Streetsboro (Ohio) HD and got two sheets Thursday.
Be very careful, the surfaces are paper thin.
