If you have your JRE/JDK configured properly in your IDE, you should be able to click into any collection to view the source code (In Eclipse, Command/Ctrl + Left Click on the Object's constructor).
I've uploaded the HashMap source code for you to take a look at the specific implementation (Edit - I was required to add in some of the code from PasteBin, but could only include ~500 lines. The full implementation is available via the link):
Regarding your question about contiguous memory space, the implementation states that the HashMap class is backed by a combination of Bins and TreeBin-TreeNodes data structure. Memory-wise, this data structure would end up being non-contiguous, with each node/bin containing a pointer to adjacent nodes/bins, and allows a resize to execute into various addresses across memory (my understanding at least).

/**
* Hash table based implementation of the {@code Map} interface. This
* implementation provides all of the optional map operations, and permits
* {@code null} values and the {@code null} key. (The {@code HashMap}
* class is roughly equivalent to {@code Hashtable}, except that it is
* unsynchronized and permits nulls.) This class makes no guarantees as to
* the order of the map; in particular, it does not guarantee that the order
* will remain constant over time.
*
* <p>This implementation provides constant-time performance for the basic
* operations ({@code get} and {@code put}), assuming the hash function
* disperses the elements properly among the buckets. Iteration over
* collection views requires time proportional to the "capacity" of the
* {@code HashMap} instance (the number of buckets) plus its size (the number
* of key-value mappings). Thus, it's very important not to set the initial
* capacity too high (or the load factor too low) if iteration performance is
* important.
*
* <p>An instance of {@code HashMap} has two parameters that affect its
* performance: <i>initial capacity</i> and <i>load factor</i>. The
* <i>capacity</i> is the number of buckets in the hash table, and the initial
* capacity is simply the capacity at the time the hash table is created. The
* <i>load factor</i> is a measure of how full the hash table is allowed to
* get before its capacity is automatically increased. When the number of
* entries in the hash table exceeds the product of the load factor and the
* current capacity, the hash table is <i>rehashed</i> (that is, internal data
* structures are rebuilt) so that the hash table has approximately twice the
* number of buckets.
*
* <p>As a general rule, the default load factor (.75) offers a good
* tradeoff between time and space costs. Higher values decrease the
* space overhead but increase the lookup cost (reflected in most of
* the operations of the {@code HashMap} class, including
* {@code get} and {@code put}). The expected number of entries in
* the map and its load factor should be taken into account when
* setting its initial capacity, so as to minimize the number of
* rehash operations. If the initial capacity is greater than the
* maximum number of entries divided by the load factor, no rehash
* operations will ever occur.
*
* <p>If many mappings are to be stored in a {@code HashMap}
* instance, creating it with a sufficiently large capacity will allow
* the mappings to be stored more efficiently than letting it perform
* automatic rehashing as needed to grow the table. Note that using
* many keys with the same {@code hashCode()} is a sure way to slow
* down performance of any hash table. To ameliorate impact, when keys
* are {@link Comparable}, this class may use comparison order among
* keys to help break ties.
*
* <p><strong>Note that this implementation is not synchronized.</strong>
* If multiple threads access a hash map concurrently, and at least one of
* the threads modifies the map structurally, it <i>must</i> be
* synchronized externally. (A structural modification is any operation
* that adds or deletes one or more mappings; merely changing the value
* associated with a key that an instance already contains is not a
* structural modification.) This is typically accomplished by
* synchronizing on some object that naturally encapsulates the map.
*
* If no such object exists, the map should be "wrapped" using the
* {@link Collections#synchronizedMap Collections.synchronizedMap}
* method. This is best done at creation time, to prevent accidental
* unsynchronized access to the map:<pre>
* Map m = Collections.synchronizedMap(new HashMap(...));</pre>
*
* <p>The iterators returned by all of this class's "collection view methods"
* are <i>fail-fast</i>: if the map is structurally modified at any time after
* the iterator is created, in any way except through the iterator's own
* {@code remove} method, the iterator will throw a
* {@link ConcurrentModificationException}. Thus, in the face of concurrent
* modification, the iterator fails quickly and cleanly, rather than risking
* arbitrary, non-deterministic behavior at an undetermined time in the
* future.
*
* <p>Note that the fail-fast behavior of an iterator cannot be guaranteed
* as it is, generally speaking, impossible to make any hard guarantees in the
* presence of unsynchronized concurrent modification. Fail-fast iterators
* throw {@code ConcurrentModificationException} on a best-effort basis.
* Therefore, it would be wrong to write a program that depended on this
* exception for its correctness: <i>the fail-fast behavior of iterators
* should be used only to detect bugs.</i>

/*
* Implementation notes.
*
* This map usually acts as a binned (bucketed) hash table, but
* when bins get too large, they are transformed into bins of
* TreeNodes, each structured similarly to those in
* java.util.TreeMap. Most methods try to use normal bins, but
* relay to TreeNode methods when applicable (simply by checking
* instanceof a node). Bins of TreeNodes may be traversed and
* used like any others, but additionally support faster lookup
* when overpopulated. However, since the vast majority of bins in
* normal use are not overpopulated, checking for existence of
* tree bins may be delayed in the course of table methods.
*
* Tree bins (i.e., bins whose elements are all TreeNodes) are
* ordered primarily by hashCode, but in the case of ties, if two
* elements are of the same "class C implements Comparable<C>",
* type then their compareTo method is used for ordering. (We
* conservatively check generic types via reflection to validate
* this -- see method comparableClassFor). The added complexity
* of tree bins is worthwhile in providing worst-case O(log n)
* operations when keys either have distinct hashes or are
* orderable, Thus, performance degrades gracefully under
* accidental or malicious usages in which hashCode() methods
* return values that are poorly distributed, as well as those in
* which many keys share a hashCode, so long as they are also
* Comparable. (If neither of these apply, we may waste about a
* factor of two in time and space compared to taking no
* precautions. But the only known cases stem from poor user
* programming practices that are already so slow that this makes
* little difference.)
*
* Because TreeNodes are about twice the size of regular nodes, we
* use them only when bins contain enough nodes to warrant use
* (see TREEIFY_THRESHOLD). And when they become too small (due to
* removal or resizing) they are converted back to plain bins. In
* usages with well-distributed user hashCodes, tree bins are
* rarely used. Ideally, under random hashCodes, the frequency of
* nodes in bins follows a Poisson distribution
* (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson_distribution) with a
* parameter of about 0.5 on average for the default resizing
* threshold of 0.75, although with a large variance because of
* resizing granularity. Ignoring variance, the expected
* occurrences of list size k are (exp(-0.5) * pow(0.5, k) /
* factorial(k)). The first values are:
*
* 0: 0.60653066
* 1: 0.30326533
* 2: 0.07581633
* 3: 0.01263606
* 4: 0.00157952
* 5: 0.00015795
* 6: 0.00001316
* 7: 0.00000094
* 8: 0.00000006
* more: less than 1 in ten million
*
* The root of a tree bin is normally its first node. However,
* sometimes (currently only upon Iterator.remove), the root might
* be elsewhere, but can be recovered following parent links
* (method TreeNode.root()).
*
* All applicable internal methods accept a hash code as an
* argument (as normally supplied from a public method), allowing
* them to call each other without recomputing user hashCodes.
* Most internal methods also accept a "tab" argument, that is
* normally the current table, but may be a new or old one when
* resizing or converting.
*
* When bin lists are treeified, split, or untreeified, we keep
* them in the same relative access/traversal order (i.e., field
* Node.next) to better preserve locality, and to slightly
* simplify handling of splits and traversals that invoke
* iterator.remove. When using comparators on insertion, to keep a
* total ordering (or as close as is required here) across
* rebalancings, we compare classes and identityHashCodes as
* tie-breakers.
*
* The use and transitions among plain vs tree modes is
* complicated by the existence of subclass LinkedHashMap. See
* below for hook methods defined to be invoked upon insertion,
* removal and access that allow LinkedHashMap internals to
* otherwise remain independent of these mechanics. (This also
* requires that a map instance be passed to some utility methods
* that may create new nodes.)
*
* The concurrent-programming-like SSA-based coding style helps
* avoid aliasing errors amid all of the twisty pointer operations.
