Visual Co-ordinate Puzzle   plotted.gif

Hello. the following puzzle I have been unable to solve for many days, and collaboration among my friends has proved fruitless, so I came to find someone out on the internet who could possibly shine some light on this.
 
I was provided with the following co-ordinates:
(30,85) (34,79) (38,70) (40,81) (41,90) (47,74) (47,83) (47,91) (51,79) (54,93) (58,77) (59,75) (62,89) (63,81) (68,88) (69,77) (69,94) (70,86) (73,81) (73,88) (77,74) (79,93) (82,83) (86,72) (89,92) (90,79) (94,86) (97,81) (98,94) (100,81) (104,76) (104,85) (107,79) (110,73) (113,94) (116,74) (119,95) (120,88) (121,82) (123,76) (125,97) (127,90) (129,83)
 
They were presented in no particular order. I have ordered them for ease of use.
In the attached image, I have the points plotted. I realise that this does not follow the normal format of larger y values being up. There were other points related to another puzzle on this same plane, and based on them, this is the proper orientatation. I have removed these other points, as they are otherwise irrelevant to this. This is also based on the upper left hand point being (0,0)
Other information which I can provide is that the number 977 may be involved. This is only a guess and may be related to one of the other area puzzles.
 
I believe that there is some sort of instructions somehow given within the points.
 
I have placed this in the Medium forum, as there may be something that I am missing, and it would be quite trivial for you to solve it, but I am quite sure it is not 'Easy'.
If I am in any way doing something wrong with this posting, I am sorry and please inform me.
 
Thank you for your time and hopefully help.

Are you sure the order the coordinates were given in wasn't important?
And for that matter, are you sure they're coordinates?

Those are the facts of which we are most sure.
If you can find anything with them not being co-ordinates, that would be most interesting.
What are you thinking they may be instead?

I thought they might encode letters.  
The second of each coordinates falls almost inside the range for lowercase letters in ascii code; unfortunately there are a few that fall outside it.
