What is correct contiguous with or contiguous to?

My research shows that usage of "contiguous to" has greatly exceeded "contiguous with" for several centuries until relatively recently. Usage of "contiguous to" still exceeds "contiguous with," but by a very narrow margin. Try plugging these into a Google n-gram and you'll see the usage history since 1800.
