The ranch operated under the Spanish tradition of low-altitude winter ranch and high-altitude summer range.

Construction is log and stone, with many well-preserved structures.
The J.O. Ranch has continued as a working ranch since its establishment. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in on November 22, 2010.
