I'm unsure if there is a particular name for that kind of footer or if it's a widget for a certain framework. That particular example was taken from buffalonews.com

After I know the name I can refine my searching for implementing it. Thank you for your input.

I believe the name you're looking for is a Site Map Footer. This is common now-a-days to display the contents of the site to the user while also offering crawlers direct links to content pages.

The key here is to display pages that are relevant/important to the user without inundating them so many links they can't figure out where to go.
