Catcher's Box?

Between games at a tournament a couple of us were discussing how the catcher's box is not really a box; that the catcher can position herself as close to home plate as she likes; and can even position herself in the opposite batter's box; one step further, it is technically legal for the catcher to be closer to the pitcher than the batter! Of course on the latter, you run the risk of being called for OBS.

Got me to thinking (again ) as to why we call it a catcher's box and not the catcher's lane?
