for fear that permission has not been secured from the copyright owners.
The lack of permission to distribute a resource is a risk that all third party resources have.
Personally, for map/graphic resources, I am more concerned about resource stability and theological bias, than copyright issues. (Theological bias in map/graphic resources is harder to detect, and adjust for, than theological bias in either audio or textual content.)
Percentage-wise, map/graphic resources are under-representated recipients of cease and desist notices.
Tin-eye, and similar software, is fairly useful for due diligence, regardless of the presence of meta data in the images. Obtaining, and validating model releases is probably the hardest aspect of due diligence.
and start to wonder if I'm breaking copyright by using any of this stuff
Under current US Law, usage is not a violation of copyright law. Likewise receiving content that was distributed in violation of copyright law is not actionable under existing civil or criminal statutes, in the United States.
There are some safe-harbour provisions which minimize the risk for Josh. The most significant is registering an agent with the Library of Congress.
I am not a lawyer. This is not legal advice.

I would think jonathon is right: "Percentage-wise, map/graphic resources are under-representated recipients of cease and desist notices"
