The process by which the migration of an axon growth cone is directed to a specific target site in response to a combination of attractive and repulsive cues. The directed, self-propelled movement of a cellular component without the involvement of an external agent such as a transporter or a pore. Generation of a long process of a neuron, that carries efferent (outgoing) action potentials from the cell body towards target cells. The process by which the migration of an axon growth cone is directed to a specific target site along the dorsal-ventral body axis in response to a combination of attractive and repulsive cues. The dorsal/ventral axis is defined by a line that runs orthogonal to both the anterior/posterior and left/right axes. The dorsal end is defined by the upper or back side of an organism. The ventral end is defined by the lower or front side of an organism.
