An old and scarce map of the town of the village of Sakar and its surroundings was hand-drawn by captain Dimitrije Đurić (1838-1893). The map dates from 1872, four years before the Serbian-Ottoman Wars began. Such topographic maps were scarce and were made for army use. Only two Muslim villages were on the right side of the Drina river in 1862: Mali Zvornik and Sakar. Sakar came under the administration of the Principality of Serbia when it became internationally recognized as a condition of the Treaty of Berlin.
