The surrounding area is alternatively referred to as Texomaland. The main area of the Texoma region is the area and surrounding cities near Lake Texoma which includes eight counties, a metropolitan area and three micropolitan areas. The Sherman–Denison Metropolitan as well as the Ardmore, Durant, and Gainesville micropolitan areas are the most populous areas of this region, although the area around Bonham is also very populated. Most of the region is also, a part of the Dallas–Fort Worth Combined Statistical Area.

Like many regional names, businesses use the term Texoma in their name to describe their intended service area.

A portion of the Texoma area south of Lake Texoma has been designated an American Viticultural Area, the Texoma AVA.

The Wichita Falls-Lawton area as well as the Paris-Hugo area are also referred to as "Texoma" or "Texomaland" due to their proximity to the Red River and the Texas/Oklahoma border.
