Someone on Prismatic Wasteland's discord pointed out that Gutenberg is searchable via Google.

You can use Google Image Search limited to Gutenberg to do a quick and dirty search like this
https://www.google.com/search?udm=2&q=site:www.gutenberg.org+fantasy+map
https://www.google.com/search?udm=2&q=site:www.gutenberg.org+barbarian
https://www.google.com/search?udm=2&q=site:www.gutenberg.org+dungeon
etc
