Madera County, California 1911

Madera County, California was written by M. B. Levick in 1911, and published by Sunset Magazine Homeseekers' Bureau based in San Francisco. The work is illustrated, and contains maps.

The purpose of the Homeseekers' Bureau and its organ, Sunset Magazine, was to promote the settlement of the American West. At the time, Sunset Magazine was owned by Southern Pacific Railroad (formerly Central Pacific). Southern Pacific was the largest single landowner in California, and, to maximize its profits, the railroad turned into an enthusiastic land developer.
