What do you call a major city? Are you looking to fly in from Down Under?
Then it would be Dallas/Fort Worth, about 90 miles south.
If you need to find anything in the area I might not be able to help, but I
can try, I'm about 100 miles north (Oklahoma City).

Denison is 75 miles north of Dallas and in the Northeastern area of
Texas in Grayson County which borders Oklahoma. It is sometimes
called the Gateway City because it is the first city that you come to
when coming from the north. It is the 2nd largest city in the county
(the County Seat of Sherman which is south of Denison is the largest).
Denison is in a gently rolling and wooded terrain which stretches
northward to the shores of Lake Texoma and the Red River Valley.

Lake Texoma spans the Texas/Oklahoma border 121 miles south of
Oklahoma City. Part of it is a state park and there is also a
wildlife reserve. It is a sprawling lake and on the map it looks a
little like a dragon.

What consititutes 'major' I wonder?

Dallas is not that far, nor Oklahoma city; say within 200 miles plus
or minus.

But there are two or three small towns close to the lake.

What do you have in mind?

Thank you all for responding to my request!
I agree that major was a bit ambiguous but not knowing the area i felt
that it would be accepted that it would mean a town/city that is a
location in its own right not a satellite suburb that has expanded.
Most cites to me have Airports and 500k+ populations
In Australia for instance we have Perth city of i believe 1.4 million pop'
then within the environs of perth is other satellite cites I.E.
Rockingham pop aprox 35k no airport no harbor (tis on the coast) about
50 miles South sou west of perth.
The reason i ask is i am looking at some boats in the US and one spot
that seems to show up is this lake Texoma but the online maps that i
have found don't show it' yet it must be of a fair size to warrant all
these boats.
Our Swan river would be but a creek to many of you folks.
Once again thank you all
