Known Limit
After review by the development team, it has been determined that this issue is related to a known limitation with the software that lies outside of Esri's control. The issue's Additional Information section may contain further explanation.
Additional Information
The Create Contours script tool uses the Area of Interest (AOI) that is contained in a raster and is used to clip the raster before creating contours. A buffer (i.e. 5KM buffer) is created before clipping the raster and results in larger output contours that extend beyond the selected AOI. Having contours extend beyond the selected AOI allow customers to edgematch contours between areas of interest.
Workaround
Use the Clip geoprocessing tool after the contours are generated to clip the contours to the boundary of the AOI polygon.
