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.
