Since this is already a well established theme, we aren't likely to add a new widget area or sitemap option in the footer, but you do have a range of options available if you'd like to set one up.

The simplest option is to create a child theme, and then add the code for your sitemap in a copy of the file footer.php in your child theme. This would require editing your child theme every time the sitemap needs updating.

Using a child theme means your tweaks won't be overwritten when updating the theme. Here are some guides in case you haven't made one before:

A more complicated route would be to create a new widget area in the footer. You could then add your site map to the footer through a text widget, and edit it in the dashboard if there are changes.

Here are some resources on adding new widgetized areas to a theme:

A third option would be to look for a plugin solution. You might find a sitemap plugin that allow you to put a template tag in footer.php in your child theme to automatically display a sitemap there.

It's up to you to choose the option that best fits your needs and skills. Good luck!
